Volcano Eruption

Along time ago there was a volcano that erupted Mt Vesuvius In pompeii. When the volcano had erupted In pompeii, everyone had died on the volcanic eruption because the people In pompeii had no plan to escape from the Mt Vesuvius volcanic eruption. But some have escape. The volcano started to erupted and some of the people died and some of them were still alive because they had there own plan and thats why some of them had escape. There plan was going down to the water and wait till the volcano stops erupting then It stop erupting and the people were safe but It felt sorry some of the people have covered In ash. I was sorry about that when the volcano erupted In Mt Vesuvius and some of the people was really sorry about the people that died on the volcano that erupted the one that was still alive.

The thing I liked best was how our volcano erupted like fireworks. We worked well as a team to make our volcano erupt. Next time I would try and make my volcano more realistic and put more effort into making our trees, houses and animations.

I enjoyed making the volcano and watching other's erupt.

Story Sculptures Volcano Report

A volcano is an opening in the earth's crust, through which lava, ash and gases flow. The word volcano comes from the Roman god of fire - Vulcan.

A volcano erupts when the pressure inside the earth builds up and needs to escape. Molten rock, in the mantle, heats up. The magma chamber fills up, then the magma pushes up the vent and out of the crater.

There are three main types of the volcano. One is a cinder cone another a shield or a composite. The most dangerous one is composite volcano because it erupts violently with lava and ash. A volcano can be active,dormant (sleeping) or extinct.

A volcanic eruption can be both destructive and beneficial. Falling ash is dangerous to aeroplanes, can cover buildings and make it hard to breathe. Lava flows and lahars destroy everthing in their paths. However, sometimes eruptions can creature new fertile land.

Ash,lava and gas from deep inside the earth can be very destructive and dangerous during a volcano eruption. However if we are careful we can enjoy the benfits of new land and fertile soil.

This is my story. My animation is about my volcano erupting and my people running away from the volcano because the volcano is dangerous.

Learning about Pressure - April 22 2010

On Monday Miss King gave Room 14 some balloons and then we used them to show her an example of pressure. Miss King said to Room 14 "We have to blow up our balloons." We were huffing and puffing trying to blow them up.

This is just like how the magma heats up inside the volcano. The pressure means that there can be smoke and ash coming out of the volcano and it goes up to the clouds.
