MODEL EARTH

To understand how volcanoes form, we must look inside the Earth. The Earth is made of a solid core, surrounded by a thick layer of hot molten rock! The Earth’s hard crust surrounds this. The crust is broken up into pieces, like the shell of a cracked egg. The heat inside the Earth affects these pieces of crust. In this activity, we will be creating a model of the Earth and investigating what happens to the pieces of crust when they are heated and creating some volcanic eruptions!
