课件25张PPT。The Power of NatureUnit 51.How is a volcano formed?The rocks under the earth becomes hotter and hotter and erupted from the mountain.Volcano form when hot material from below rises and leaks into the crust(地壳）. The hot material called magma, rising from lower ground,gathers in a reservoir called the magma chamber. Eventually, but not always, the magma erupts onto the surface and form lava. Strong earthquakes accompany rising lava, and the volcano may swell（膨胀） just before an eruption.3.What kind of things might a volcanologist do? gasliquidsolidLava(熔岩)vapour水蒸气,
carbon dioxide, nitrogen(氮), sulphur(硫磺), etc.bits of rock and volcanic ash, etc.2.What will be produced after the eruption of volcano?**He must be brave enough because he must climb into a live volcano to take the temperature of the boiling rock inside.**Interest is the most important. He should show great interest in studying rocks and volcanoes.**He should be interested in travelling to unusual places and like adventure in his life.**He should enjoy working outside because a lot of work needs to be done outdoors.Unit 5

3. Why is the lava that flows on Mount Kilauea more dangerous than the actual eruption?
Volcanologists study volcanoes so that they can warn people when the volcano is going to erupt and so save many lives.The lava flows down the mountain and can cover up or burn villages in its path. The rocks that erupt from the volcano usually don’t damage anything because no one lives near the crater.4. What caused the writer’s bedroom to become as bright as day even though it was night?
5. Why did the scientists have to get close to the volcano after it began erupting?
