A Project Guide to Volcanoes

Mysterious and powerful, volcanoes remind us that nature is in charge. We watch in awe as they erupt with fiery rivers of lava or with explosions that bury whole towns in ash. Volcanoes literally turn the earth inside out, bringing hot molten rock from deep inside the earth to the surface. Learn more about the spectacular geology behind volcanoes with twelve fun science projects you can do yourself. You'll think like a volcanologist as you build a model volcano that really erupts, re-create the formation of Hawaii, and make your own power station using the heat that powers volcanic eruptions. Get up close and personal with the destructive forces of the earth! Book jacket.
