Volcano Web
In this lesson you will use the Internet
to research information on volcanoes and then write a report on your results.
Introduction
A volcano is a location where magma,
or hot melted rock from within a planet, reaches the surface.
It may happen violently, in a massive supersonic explosion,
or more quietly, as a sticky, slow lava flow.
Volcanoes have been a part of earth's history long before
humans. Compare the history of human beings, a few million
years in the making, to that of the Earth, over four
billion years in the making.
