BR 2-25: Volcanoe

The lava hardens into rock. Layers of lava build up after many eruptions (p.5)

I learned about volcanoes when I was junior high school student in science class. But I forgot many things. I know what the earth has an outer shell called the crust. And the middle of the earth is the core. But there are things that I knew for the first time in this book. It is hot water. A volcano heart up the ground around. So, it hearts up any rain. Heated water bubbles out and form a hot spring. I didn't know the structure. I watched hot spring water is used in swimming pool in Iceland on TV.

Also, I have to understand it. Because there is it in Kumamoto. It is Aso-zan. It is an active volcano. We can see it near. I have been to it. It is similar to this picture in this book. Also, there is Unzen in Nagasaki. It erupt in 1991. It was big.  Volcano ashes came to Kumamoto. When I was elementary school student, I went to Unzen as school trip. There is memorial hall in it. I went there too. I could learn many things.

I want everyone to learn volcano in this book.
