What is in the inside of a volcano?

Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects. Pressure builds up inside the magma chamber, causing the magma to move through channels in the rock and escape onto the planet’s surface. Once it flows onto the surface the magma is known as lava.

What is deep inside a volcano?

Deep inside Earth, between the molten iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called the mantle. When rock from the mantle melts, moves to the surface through the crust, and releases pent-up gases, volcanoes erupt.

How are the vents in a volcano formed?

To make it more realistic and add more terms, we used clear tubing for the volcano’s vents. Many volcanoes have a primary central vent as well as a number of smaller secondary vents. These vents form when the pressure inside the magma chamber builds up, pushing the magma to the surface.

What do you call stuff that comes out of a volcano?

The one concept I always try to get through to even my youngest preschooler is that in reality, the red stuff that comes out of a volcano is melted rock. After the melted rock comes out of the volcano, we call it lava, but when it’s INSIDE the volcano, we call it magma. ( My 3 year old is very proud of her ability to remember these words.)

Why do you need clear tubing for a volcano?

This allows the child to effectively see inside the volcano. To make it more realistic and add more terms, we used clear tubing for the volcano’s vents. Many volcanoes have a primary central vent as well as a number of smaller secondary vents. These vents form when the pressure inside the magma chamber builds up, pushing the magma to the surface.
