Volcano model
Introduction
Volcanoes are one of the earth's most amazing displays of power. Volcanoes are the earth's mechanism for cooling off its inner core. As the core of the planet heats up from the decay of radioactive elements deep in the earth, the rocks melt, forming magma. This heat needs to be released and allowed to escape to the surface. An eruption hole, or vent, is created through which burning hot molten rock and gases are released to the surface of the earth. The build-up of the ashes and lava flows (magma that has been released from the earth) that are released around the hole accumulate to create a volcano. These happen most often at "hot spots", which are places along the edges of earth plates that are weak enough to allow the earth to vent hot lava. The study of movement at these plates that creates super geologic activity is called plate tectonics.
Statement of the problem
The study aimed to find out what ingredient/s together with baking soda and red food coloring will be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”. Specifically, the study aimed to answer the following questions:
1. Will the ingredient/s vinegar, together with baking soda and red food coloring be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”?
2. Will the ingredient/s soy sauce, together with baking soda and red food coloring be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”?
3. Will the ingredient/s calamansi and lemon, together with baking soda and red food coloring be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”?
4. Will the ingredient/s dalandan and tamarind extracts, together with baking soda and red food coloring be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”?
Hypothesis
The ingredient/s vinegar, together with baking soda, red food coloring and dish detergent will be able to make an unrealistic volcano model “erupt”.
The ingredient/s soy sauce and dalandan extracts, together with baking soda, red food coloring and dish detergent will not be able

    Plate tectonics essay

    • 1162 Words

    Firstly, one place where tectonic activity occurs is at oceanic to oceanic constructive plate boundaries. Here two plates diverge or move away from each other, pushed apart by huge convection currents In the earth’s mantle. These convection currents are initiated by heat energy produced from radioactive decay in the earth’s core. As the convection currents move the plates away from each other, there is a weaker zone in the crust and an increase in heat near the surface. The hotter, expanded crust forms a ridge. Magma rises up from the mantle in the gap. The lava cools, solidifies and forms a chain of volcanic mountains thousands of miles long down the middle of the ocean eg. Atlantic. There are transform faults at right angles to the ridge. The movement of these faults causes rift valleys to occur. Examples of these landforms created by constructive plate margins are the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MIR) , and the Great African rift valley (GARV). The MIR is the result of the North American plate and Eurasian plate diverging in the middle of the Atlantic ocean. Here, volcanic islands such as Iceland, the Canary islands and ascension island have been created by the rising magma from the mantle. The GARV is an example of where the crust has dropped down between parallel faults to form rift valleys. As the crust subducts into the mantle it melts causing igneous activity below, magma to rise and therefore volcanoes erupt on the surface as a result. Evidence of this volcanic activity is shown by Mount Kenya and Mount Kilimanjaro.…

    As all the students flooded into the classroom and started to unpack, the teacher, Mrs.Bentley, said, "Today you are going on a mini field trip to a park with Mrs.Crystal, who studies rocks and minerals! What you're about to learn is a surprise!" The students cheered, wondering why they were going there. They gladly followed Mrs.Crystal out of the room and to the park nearby. Mrs. Crystal asked, "Do you know what inside a volcano?" Many hands shot up. She pointed to a girl. "Magma, and when it spews out it is called lava." Mrs.Crystal exclaimed, "Yes! That is correct! It flows down, burning everything in its path. Over a week or so, it cools down and hardens, because on the surface of Earth, it is much cooler than the inside of the Earth, which is over 1000 degrees! It turns so hard it becomes a kind of rock.... Jess.. what is it?" Jess said, "An.... igneous rock?" "Fantastic!" The igneous rock is basically a lump of cooled, hardened lava." Reaching into her bag, she pulled out 10 round igneous rocks. All students crowded around. She scooped them back up, and said, "That's not the end of it! The igneous rocks gets broken down by erosion and weathering such as wind, rain, and ice, turning them into sediments! These sediments are usually found near water sources. Some of them even have fossils in them due to dead animals that sink to the lake/ocean/sea/river floor, and other sediments pile on top of it and more and more and more.... so the fossil and all the sediments and the occasional fossil are compacted and cemented." Mrs.Crystal ended her speech. "Class, what is the rock called?" Several voices rang out, "Sedimentary!" Mrs.Crystal smiled, and the pupils knew they were right. This time, instead of showing them rocks, she brought out of her bag a granola bar, a plastic bowl, a tube of sticky glue, and a bottle of water. She announced, "Who wants to be my helper? A hand shot up. Indigo smiled shyly as the teacher beckoned to her to be her helper. "Break apart the…

    On March 10, 2011, I attended a campus wide experience that was showing a volcano documentary by Maurice and Katia Krafft. They were born and raised in France and would like to retire in Hawaii. They are writers, movie makers, and scientists. In 1988, they circled the globe 8 times to study the many volcanoes of the earth. They love to photograph the many shield volcanoes in Hawaii because they are constantly erupting. To them, their perfect paradise is described as a lava lake not a paradise with crystal clear waters and sunny skies. They were attracted to fire since Maurice was 8 and Katia was 14. They transformed their passion to a way of life.…
