  • What happens during an eruption?

    An eruption begins when pressure on a magma chamber forces magma up through the conduit and out the volcano's vents. When magma reaches the earth's surface it is called lava. It may pour out in gentle streams called lava flows to erupt violently into the air.

    Does the Sun have any effects on volcanism?

    Method:
    Put the bottle in the middle of the ice cream lid or the carton.

    Stick the bottle in the middle using sellotape.

    Put a scratch of paper around it to create a shape of a volcano.

    Get a flour and water to create a paper mache

    Surround the paper mache with plaster so it can harden.
