Hello friends, here I show you How to Make Active Volcano Model with Cardboard and Paper and other basic objects. Please see carefully and make it easily. It will help the students of the school/college to create their project. Thank you. Materials Required: Cardboard, Tissue Paper, Acrylic Colors, Plastic bottle, Paper, Hot Glue, White Glue, Baking soda, Hand wash powder, Food color, Vinegar, Artificial plant, etc. VOLCANOE: Volcanoes are Earth's geologic architects. They've created more than 80 percent of our planet's surface, laying the foundation that has allowed life to thrive. Their explosive force crafts mountains as well as craters. Lava rivers spread into bleak landscapes. But as time ticks by, the elements break down these volcanic rocks, liberating nutrients from their stony prisons and creating remarkably fertile soils that have allowed civilizations to flourish. HOW DO VOLCANOES FORM? The majority of volcanoes in the world form along the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates—massive expanses of our planet's lithosphere that continually shift, bumping into one another. When tectonic plates collide, one often plunges deep below the other in what's known as a subduction zone. As the descending landmass sinks deep into the Earth, temperatures and pressures climb, releasing water from the rocks. The water slightly reduces the melting point of the overlying rock, forming magma that can work its way to the surface—the spark of life to reawaken a slumbering volcano. Not all volcanoes are related to subduction, however. Another way volcanoes can form is what's known as hotspot volcanism. In this situation, a zone of magmatic activity—or a hotspot—in the middle of a tectonic plate can push up through the crust to form a volcano. Although the hotspot itself is thought to be largely stationary, the tectonic plates continue their slow march, building a line of volcanoes or islands on the surface. This mechanism is thought to be behind the Hawaii volcanic chain. WHERE ARE ALL THESE VOLCANOES? Some 75 percent of the world's active volcanoes are positioned around the ring of fire, a 25,000-mile long, horseshoe-shaped zone that stretches from the southern tip of South America across the West Coast of North America, through the Bering Sea to Japan, and on to New Zealand. This region is where the edges of the Pacific and Nazca plates butt up against an array of other tectonic plates. Importantly, however, the volcanoes of the ring aren't geologically connected. In other words, a volcanic eruption in Indonesia is not related to one in Alaska, and it could not stir the infamous Yellowstone super volcano. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE DANGERS FROM A VOLCANO? Volcanic eruptions pose many dangers aside from lava flows. It's important to heed local authorities' advice during active eruptions and evacuate regions when necessary. One particular danger is pyroclastic flows, avalanches of hot rocks, ash, and toxic gas that race down slopes at speeds as high as 450 miles an hour. Such an event was responsible for wiping out the people of Pompeii and Herculaneum after Mount Vesuvius erupted in A.D. 79. Similarly, volcanic mudflows called lahars can be very destructive. These fast-flowing waves of mud and debris can race down a volcano's flanks, burying entire towns. Ash is another volcanic danger. Unlike the soft, fluffy bits of charred wood left after a campfire, volcanic ash is made of sharp fragments of rocks and volcanic glass each less than two millimeters across. The ash forms as the gasses within rising magma expand, shattering the cooling rocks as they burst from the volcano's mouth. It's not only dangerous to inhale, it's heavy and builds up quickly. Volcanic ash can collapse weak structures, cause power outages, and is a challenge to shovel away post-eruption. CAN WE PREDICT VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS? Volcanoes give some warning of pending eruption, making it vital for scientists to closely monitor any volcanoes near large population centers. Warning signs include small earthquakes, swelling or bulging of the volcano's sides, and increased emission of gasses from its vents. None of those signs necessarily mean an eruption is imminent, but they can help scientists evaluate the state of the volcano when magma is building. However, it's impossible to say exactly when, or even if, any given volcano will erupt. Volcanoes don't run on a timetable like a train. This means it's impossible for one to be “overdue” for eruption—no matter what news headlines say.

About This Video

Hello friends, in this video I show you how to make an active volcano model using simple, affordable materials like cardboard, paper, tissue paper, and a plastic bottle. I build the mountain shape on a strong cardboard base, then I cover it with tissue paper using white glue so it gets that realistic rocky texture. After it dries, I paint it with acrylic colors to give a natural volcano look, and I also decorate the area with small details like an artificial plant to make the model look like a complete school project display. The main highlight is making the volcano “erupt” in a safe and easy way. I use baking soda, vinegar, food color, and a little hand wash powder to create a foamy lava effect that looks active and exciting for demonstrations. This model is very useful for school/college projects because it’s easy to understand, easy to build at home, and it looks impressive on the table. If you follow the steps carefully, you can make it neatly and repeat the eruption again and again for your science exhibition.
