L.O. I am learning about what volcanoes are.
Tuesday 31th March 2020L.O. I am learning about what volcanoes are.
Here are some words that you made need to in your learning about volcanoes.
Comprehension Activity:
Your task today is to read the text about volcanoes and answer the questions.
Read and answer the questions to help you understand how volcano works.
Tuesday 31th March 2020L.O. I am learning about what volcanoes are.
Have you ever thought about why volcanoes are actually called 'volcanoes'? Can you think of a reason why?
Where does the word ‘Volcano’ come from?
The word 'volcano' comes from the island ‘Vulcano’, which is a
volcanic island in Italy.
Vulcano, Italy.
The island actually gets its name from the Roman god of fire –Vulcan.
How Are Volcanoes Formed?Deep in the earth, it is extremely hot. It is so hot, in fact, that rocks
actually melt and form magma, which makes up the mantle of the earth.
The upper mantle mixes and moves, which creates pressure underneath the crust. This pressure can sometimes cause the mantleto leak out onto thesurface of the earth– this is avolcano!
Over time, as this magma leaks out, the volcano will
get bigger and bigger.
The Three Stages of VolcanoesScientists have placed volcanoes in to three different categories.
What do you think each one is?
Active
Dormant
Extinct
An active volcano is one that has erupted recently, and there is the possibility that it may erupt again.
A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted for a long time, however, it may still erupt in the future.
An extinct volcano is one which has eruptedthousands of years ago, but it willprobably never erupt again.
Why Do Volcanoes Erupt?We know that the earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called tectonic plates. These fit together like a jigsaw puzzle and they sometimes move.
The movement causes frictionwhich causes earthquakes and
volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. The theory that explains this process is called ‘plate
tectonics’ – this means the plates are moving in different
directions and at different speeds. Sometimes they collide or brush past each
other and cause these earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions.Click on the word in bold to
find out what it means!
Friction: the resistance created when one surface rubs
against another.
What Are the Different Parts of a Volcano?
An opening in the surface of the Earth
through which volcanic materials, such as
magma, can escape.
A cloud of ash. It is formed by volcanic explosions
vent ash cloud
The mouth of a volcano. It surrounds the vent.
crater
throat
The entrance of a volcano. It ejects lava
and volcanic ash.
conduit
An underground passage which magma
travels through.
A large underground pool of liquid rock found beneath the
surface of the Earth.
magma reservoir
More Volcano Facts
What is the difference between magma and lava?Magma is liquid rock inside a volcano. Lava is the name for liquid rock that has flowed out of a volcano. Lava takes a long time to cool down as it is not a good heat conductor. As a lava flow cools down, it gets slower and thicker.
What is a ‘pyroclastic flow’?This is the most deadly of all volcano activities.It is a liquidised mixture of solid and part-solid fragments and hot, expanding gases.They look like a snow avalanche but are extremely hot and contain poisonous gases. They move at the speed of a hurricane.
Click on the word in bold to findout more!
Heat Conductor: something which can
transfer heat from one object to another.
1) Where does the word ‘volcano’ come from?
2) What are the 3 types of volcano? What does each word mean?
3) True or False: The Earth is made up of ‘tectonic plates’.
4) Draw a picture of a volcano and label the 6 key parts.
5) Write 3 new facts you have learnt about volcanoes today J

Activity: Try using your similes in sentences.
Here are two examples:
The mouth of the volcano was open like the mouth of an angry hippo.
Lava as hot as the sun, shot out from the volcano.
Write 3 of your own sentences about a volcano, using similes. You can use your similes from earlier.
