  1. A volcano erupting is a devistating explosion. But volcanoes are good too. They grow new plants and bring new soil and get rid of the old, dead trees and plants. It says" A volcano can be two things: a hole in the ground that lava comes through, or a hill or mountain formed by the lava." Once a volcano is formed, it can not erupt for many, many years.

  6. The volcanoe I chose was a under water volcanoe it was erupting out of the water. You could see smoke coming out and ashes coming out it was the colest erupting under water volcanoe I'v ever seen I think volcanoes are good because "Volcanoes dont destroy they bring new mountains, new islands, and new soil to the land. Many good things can come in a fiery explotinof volcanoes" and I agree.

  8. When you see a volcano it might look like a bunch of fire works or it might look like a weird looking cloud, it could be lava or rocks but both are very dangerous"within 6 hours of eruption of the volcano,more than 5,000 people were taken off the island for saftey."

  9. The picture of a volcanoe I found on the enternet looks like an amazing display of fireworks with lava squirting and pouring out. It looked like a "sheild volcanoe such as Mauna Loa" which was a massive explosion that looked like a meteor shower.

  12. valcnos are bad because they destroy evrything and harm or even kill people,animals,and plants and trees. they can also be good because they create new land and let new plants grow and animals can survive,"Many good things can come from valcanos.

  13. when a volcano is erupting it looks like a bunch of fireworks going off.It also looks like a masave bomb going off.The lava in a volcanoe is a red orange color.THE lava also bubble and go really high in the air."Hawaiian volcano lava bubbles out quietly to form rivers or lakes, or spouts a few hunred feet in the air in a fiery fountain."

  15. I picked a picture of a valcanoe that erupted and lava is going every where and there is still lava coming out of the valcanoe there is smoke and ashes everywhere."But I think the valcanoes can help the earth because they can make more land but they can be bad to because they kill alot of people".

  17. My picture is when kilauea erupted. The lava comes shooting out and it is devostation to the town next to Kilauea. Also it is shooting out like 50 feet in the air! It let off a lot of smoke and ash into the air. But I also think the valcanoes can help the Earth because it burns away dead brush and brings back new brush about a month later. And under water valcanoes can make new land for more people to live on. Lastly before a erurtion there are small earth quakes.

  18. The picture I chose was cool because two volcanos were exploding at once. It also was cool because two men were standing next to the river of lava that was forming. I can tell the lava river was big because the picture was taken at a great angle and the men looked very small. The lava that was coming out of the tops of the volcanoes looked like fireworks because they shot out of the top. This is a quote from the story that helps support my description: "The energy released in the eruption was equal to ten million tons of dynamite."

  20. The picture I chose was amazing! I liked it beacause it had lava flying out and it looked like sparks.Also, it didn't look real beacause there was so much detail! The picture told me that volcanoes can cause a lot of damage and harmful things. But volcanoes can also be good beacause the lava kills old plants and other things like that.The story says, "Volcanoes can be good to," Which proves that they can be good.

  24. Volcanoes are sooooo cool. But sometimes they are bad because they damage roads, homes, and kill people. Volcanoes can be helpful also, like when they kill old trees thet needed to die so that new ones can come. It's amazing how high and far lava can shoot out of a volcano. I am glad volcanoes are not close to my home.
