Volcanoes

 Mt Tambora Volcano. 

Aim:

- To create an erupting Volcano. 

Equipment:

• Newspaper 

• Glue 

• Bottle

• Cardboard 

• Paint - brown, red, green, orange

• Elephant toothpaste chemicals 

• Paint brush

• Tray/container 

• Red Food coloring 

Method:

• Get all equipment prepared. 

• Use a bottle as the structure for the volcano. 

• Paper mache the outside for a more realistic design, make sure to leave out the opening of the bottle. (This will be opening of the volcano)

• Use a newspaper for rocks, by scrunching them into balls.

• Paint over the paper mache and rocks to add colour to your designs, create more definitions and details using the paint. Such as lava leaking out and so on.

• Set up the elephant toothpaste inside the bottle.

Research:

Mount Tambora, also known as Mount Tambora, is a volcanic mountain located on the Northern coast of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia. 

Mount Tambora has been recorded as the largest volcanic eruption in our history which killed tens of thousands of people. This catastrophic eruption took place in 1815 on April 5, this is when people first started to notice. Tremors and pyroclastic flow became more obvious 5 days later a humongous blast blew apart the mountain. Earthquakes due to tectonic plates created many catastrophic events for the people. As this volcano is located on an island, tsunami's were also added to the blast and the pyroclastic flows. As all these natural disasters followed each other, it killed at least 10,000 islanders. Following that, the precious homes of 35,000 more, the death toll is more than 71,00 so it's known as the deadliest volcano.

Volcanoes form when one tectonic plate moves under another. Usually a thin, heavy oceanic plate sub ducts, or moves under a thicker continental plate. When enough magma builds up in the magma chamber it forces its way up to the surface and that how it erupts.

This Volcano definitely worked and it had a pretty good explosion. If I did this again I would chose a different volcano, and do something with more detail.
