What I've learned in Science this Term

- This term me and my class have been learning about...

• Layers of the Earth
• Convection Current
• Volcano + Eruption
• Tsunami's
• Tectonic Plate
• and Bunsen Burner

- 5 things I've learned about "Layers of the Earth" is that there are 4 Layers all together called the Crust, Mantel, Outer Core, Inner Core. The Mantel is the thickest Layer and the Crust is the thinnest Layers. The Outer Core is mostly liquid and the Inner Core is mostly made of Iron.

- Did you know: The middle of the mantle "flows"  because of Convection Current are caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantel rising, then cooling and sinking again repeating the cycle over and over again

-I also learned about How Tsunami's are formed which are caused by four stages Initiation, Split, Amplification, Run up.

- Another thing I learned in Science is Volcano. There are 7 parts of the volcano the Initiation, Split, Amplification, Run up.

Science: Volcano experiment

For the last past few weeks in Science we have been working and researching on Volcano Eruption we have also been doing experiments. Here are some of the information I learned/discover about Volcano Eruption + Our volcano explosion and Volcano Model

1) Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits.

2) The Earth's crust is made up of huge slabs called plates, which fit together like a jigsaw puzzle. These plates sometimes move. The friction causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions near the edges of the plates. The theory that explains this process is called plate tectonics. 

3) Magma also rises when these tectonic plates move toward each other. When this happens, part of Earth's crust can be forced deep into its interior.
