A volcano is a vent
or chimney that
connects molten rock
(magma) from within
the earths crust to the
earths surface.
ROMAN MYTHOLOGY
Vulcan god of fire
Loki god of underworld (norse
mythology)
Hephaestus god of fire &
volcano (greek mythology)
Madame Pele goddess of
volcanoes (Hawaii mythology)
EXPLOSIVE ERUPTIONS
Can be catastrophic
3 products from explosive
eruption
- Ash fall
- Pyroclastic flow
- Pyroclastic surge
EFFUSIVE ERUPTION
- Characterized by outpouring of
lava of the ground.

REFLECTION:
In this lesson I have learned that
volcanoes have different
characteristics. They could be
dormant or active, just like in life,
sometime life is quiet and peaceful,
and sometimes its full of
challenges. When a volcano erupts,
I can compare the lava flows,
mudslides, avalanches and falling
ash to the problems we encounter
in life, which could be very
devastating. Not to mention it
could also trigger earthquakes and
tsunamis which represents the
REFLECTION:
In this lesson I have learned that
weather reflects short-term
conditions of the atmosphere while
climate is the average daily
weather for an extended period of
