Grade 8 Week 5: Volcanoes

Over the next two weeks we will be examining mountain formation.  We begin with volcanoes.

How do volcanoes form?
What are the effects of these eruptions?

Contract Week 5 has you modeling or making a diagram of a volcano, or researching a famous volcano.

Volcanoes form when a oceanic plate goes under another plate and melts forming a magma chamber. It then starts pushing up the ground and lava and gases rise up making it bigger then gases rise and expand then it explodes.
