16 We have brought along a collection of real volcanic rock from Bristol University for you to investigate Look carefully- Can you see any bubbles in the rock? Can you find any crystals? Can you see anything that has melted in the lava? Can you find a volcanic bomb? Can you find some wiggly lava? We have brought along a few rocks that are not from Volcanoes- can you work out which ones they are?

17 What is a volcano? Mountains that erupt. A dormant volcano is:awake asleep ________ chamber V____ Conduit Cone Why do volcanoes erupt? Hot magma wants to go: up down How do volcanoes erupt? Two types: e and effusive What helps make explosive volcanoes erupt?. Do effusive volcanoes have runny or sticky lava?. l a v a x p l o s i v e b u b b l e s r u n n y e n t M a g m a
