This is my Volcano report By San Tat


My Volcano report

A volcano can look like a mountain and it can blow up. Some volcanoes are active while others are just asleep. Volcanoes are awesome because they blow up!

`A volcano that has not erupted is known as extinct ( Extinct means it has died) A volcano that has blown up is known as an active volcano. A volcano is a hole in the earth's crust where magma comes out.Volcanoes can also form new rocks and make new landforms

Volcanoes erupt (blow up) when the ground moves and cracks. THe magma explodes coming from inside the earth and out the volcano. People can die and get hurt from volcanoes that blow up. The Lava can cover people and turn into rock, this kills them.


There are 53 volcanoes in New Zealand. Taranaki volcano is the youngest volcano and the biggest volcano in New Zealand. Taranaki blew up in 1655 and they think it will blow up again. Another volcano in New Zealand is Tongariro it is an active volcano so it is dangerous.



Overall I’ve learned a lot about volcanoes and how they blow up and that lava can kill people. I have also learned about dangerous volcanoes in New Zealand and the volcanoes that have died. I really liked learning about volcanoes and writing about them.
