You don't have baking soda or vinegar to make a homemade chemical volcano? Here's a simple 2-ingredient volcano using Pop Rocks candies to produce the eruption. If you use red or pink pop rocks, you'll even get a nice color to the lava. Sulfuric Acid & Sugar Ash Column Andy Crawfor...
Experimental Procedure of How to Make a Volcano The Apparatus The plastic bottle is precisely cut along the middle and shaped into a conical form like a volcanic peak. Secure the cone in place with the cello tape firmly. For a better and more homogeneous look, glue the paper strips to the...
What Causes a Volcano to Erupt, and How Do Scientists Predict Eruptions?Attila Kilinc
Stratovolcanoes typically alternate between explosive and non-explosive, or "effusive," eruptions. Those relatively quiet effusive eruptions produce the lava flows, which are more fluid: in other words, less "viscous." (Viscosity is a liquid's resistance to flow.) Along with temperature, the prim...

stratovolcano eruption is the lahar: A volcanic mudflow composed of rock fragments and water that funnels at a high speed down drainages. You don’t need an eruption, however, to produce a lahar. Heavy precipitation or rapid melting of a volcano’s snowpack or glaciers can generate these ...
How many times can a volcano erupt? In theory,there is no limit on the number of volcanoesthat could erupt at once other than the number of active volcanoes themselves: while it is thus theoretically thinkable, that all 600 volcanoes (on land) known to have had eruptions during recorded his...
Lava Q & A We strive to make our lava viewing guide as complete as possible, which means that it sometimes can be difficult to quickly find the information you are looking for. Because of this we answer some of the most asked (and answered!) questions about seeing lava in Hawaii below:...
side of the mountain. Cross the magma river, and you will notice a small door. Enter, and you will find a ladder. Climb and go to the corridor on the left. Take the first door to the right, and you will find yourself on the balcony with a portal, which will take you to Rykard....
