1.) Give one volunteer a large colored marker.
2.) Create a crack big enough for the pencil to poke
through between the lab tables.
3.) Group members move ocean plate (poster size
paper) toward clock very slowly and curve it.
-Movement needs to be 5 minutes from start to finish
4.) Person under table touches marker to paper
every thirty seconds for five minutes.
5.) Make first circles largest, and last circles the
smallest. At end neaten island chain.
6.) Sketch results in journal when complete.

• Why do volcanoes erupt?
• Why do volcanoes erupt?
• When rock from the mantle melts, it moves
to the surface through the crust, and
releases pent-up gases which can erupt.
• Activity! Volcanic Explosion.
– A volcano is a lot like a bottle of soda exploding.
– Like soda, molten earth contains gases.
– These gases create a frothy cloudy explosion.
– Note the air spaces in the volcanic rock Pumice.

The big Idea that

the earth and
created the
atmosphere deals
with…?
The creation of the
atmosphere from volcanoes
dates billion of years ago
The Earth’s atmosphere
has changed as a result
of volcanoes.
Volcanoes cycle Carbon and
Sulfur on our planet which
are necessary for plant and
animal survival.
Today’s volcanoes behave
in the same way that
volcanoes from millions of
years ago do.

Shield.
The lava has a relatively
low viscosity (low
resistance to flow) the
lava can travel far from
the vent creating shield.

• Olympus Mons on the planet Mars was
an active shield volcano.
– Largest volcano / Mt in the solar system.

Slow release of highly viscous
silica-rich magma. Doesn’t flow

Ash Cinder
Erupting gases carry lava into the
atmosphere to form lava fountains. The
lava blobs commonly solidify during
flight through the air before landing on
the ground.

• This PowerPoint is just one very small part of my
Geology Topics Unit that I offer on TpT. This unit
includes…
• A six part 3,700 Slide PowerPoint Presentation / unit
roadmap full of activities, review questions, games, video
links, flashcards, materials list, and much more.
• A 18 bundled homework package, modified version, 19
pages of unit notes, 6 PowerPoint Review Games of
100+ slides each, videos, rubrics, and much more that
all chronologically follow the unit slideshow.
• This is a fantastic unit for any Earth Science Class.
