Lava

teachers, has been thinking about going on a field trip to a very amazing and educational place. We have been thinking about going on a field trip to the Lava Beds National Monument, but to do this we would need your approval which I hope we will receive after I give you the in depth details of the educational values we would indulge in on this trip. On this field trip we would learn about the history of the formation of the lava beds, we would get to explore the caves and see how remarkable they are, and finally we would learn safety tactics for exploring underground caves. The Lava Beds National Monument is a series of underground caves which are sometimes referred to as lava tubes that have formed over the course of history. These caves as stated in the paragraph,"Formed from a variety of volcanic eruptions that occurred over the last half million years." Just think of how many volcanic eruptions must have happened over the past half million years for as stated in the paragraph"700 caves" to form. Also another interesting fact about the Lava Beds National Monument is that "The majority of the landscape of Lava Beds National Monument was once covered with lava." This means that for a long period of time all of the beautiful underground caves that are available to be explored today were just covered up with sizzling hot lava. Now I do not know if I am speaking for my self here, but that is a huge amount of interesting history that I think a lot of kids would like to…

snowy, and happy. Lava Girl, on the other hand, wants it to be hot and gloomy. She causes problems within the town and no one likes it; they think she is selfish. Lava Girl is a tall woman who dresses in all black, and has long, black, straight hair. She came from Hawaii, and now lives on a volcano in Seattle, Washington also. She gets angry easily,…

You Didn’t Know About Lava” that I found from the magazine Discover did a very nice job talking about lava and the variations of it. Although she’s not a full-blown geologist she did a nice job with information very close to that of what’s been inscribed into our text books and what’s been told to us in class. After reading the article I did some research on Gemma Tarlach to see what made her qualified to be able to write a paper about the lava and its different types, while still having…

Basaltic lava has a low viscosity and that is why the lava flows more freely making it slow over a wide area. Lava caves can be formed when lava begins to harden. If we were to look closely to the lava that just came out of the volcano, you can tell when it is cooling and hardening. Lava trees can be created when lava flows around trees, which the burn leaving hollowed out regions in the lava according to their shape. By looking at the Lava trees you can tell how the forest used to be before the…

Volcanoes In this documentary, it starts off with the Ring of Fire. This consist of 75% of the world's volcano which is 452. The Ring of Fire is 25,000 miles all around, mostly shaped like a horse shoe. Volcanoes can have different way of how the lava runs. Dr. shows comparing to honey and peanut butter with how the lava can run down the volcano. The lava builds us over the side of the mountain. The doctor also explains that the lava can be very thick that it hold pressure. The pressure…

different lava flows that layer over time. Mount Kilauea is a well-known shield volcano in Hawaii. Before it erupts, it is known to inflate as magma pushes upward from its magma chamber. Seismic activity usually precludes Kilauea’s eruptions by about 24 hours. Their eruptions consist mostly of lava flowing out of the summit or through lava tubes in what is known as a flank eruption. The lava that flows from these volcanoes is highly basaltic in nature. Because of this, they have very large…

Help!The floor is lava! Being a kid did you ever imagine that the floor was hot, bubbly lava? Well did you ever realize that there is a place on Earth where the floor is actually made of lava? Sounds amazing does it not, well we could visit it we just need your approval. This astounding vista is called Lava Beds National Monument and we should visit it for many reasons. Ok class here you can see the amazing Fern Cave. One reason that we should visit this great wonder is that it will help…

threat to the island and to the people. It is important to discuss why do people enjoy living in Hawaii, knowing that there is a high probability of danger if one of the volcanoes’ erupts dramatically. How is Volcanic lava events after eruptions have an impact on the ecosystem and human settlement near an active volcano. The…

ago. Referring back to the May 22, 1915 eruption, the active volcano created a great deal of devastation and depressions; known as the Devastated Area. The devastation caused has an area of three square miles. Volcanoes are common at Lassen. In fact, Lassen is home to all four types of volcanoes, which are shield, cinder cone, plug dome, and composite. One of their shield volcanoes is Mount Harkness and it is circular and broad. It began to form from consecutive floods of liquid lava that…

Have you ever walked through a lava tube before? There is one on the Big Island and this tube is over 500 years old and once had actual lava flowing through it, creating this tube. As the lava flowed through and dried it created walls that made it hollow on the inside. Many tourist like the visit this attraction because it is the only island that had one. Therefore Big Island and Oahu have many similarities and differences. Oahu and Big Island are all apart of the fiftieth state, but they…
