You really shouldn't live near an active volcano!

Volcanoes erupts because of the core's pressure. From the magma chamber, the magma rises.

Volcanoes are mountain that have openings that allows the magma to go out. Lava, gas, ash and rocks erupts out of the opening. The openings are called craters.

Volcanoes erupts along the boundaries from the Earth's plates, where molten rock is forced up to the crater from the magma chamber. The core can also cause a volcano eruption, it gives pressure to the magma chamber which makes the molten rock rise.

Sometimes volcanic eruptions cause lava to flow out. If the lava reaches the forest, it can cause forest fires. Lava flows can burn houses as well.

Some volcanoes are extinct, some are dormant and some are active. Some volcanoes are strong enough to affect cities.

Learning Intention: We are learning to follow the structure of an explanation.

Success Criteria: I know I can do this when I write the introduction, followed by the explanation sequence, the effect and then the conclusion about how a volcano erupts.
