PROBLEM: How can you make a model volcano that is an ANALOG of a real volcano?

PREDICTION: 

EXERCISE:

Using the clay provided, build the model volcano assigned by your teacher. Use the diagrams below to help you create a cross section of a volcano. Use different colors to represent ash, lava, and mud.

COMPOSITE VOLCANO

  1. CRATER
  2. NEWCINDER BEDS
  3. LAVA FLOW
  4. OLDER LAVA FLOW
  5. ASH BEDS
  1. What makes this model different from a cinder and a shield volcano?
      
    CINDER CONE
  1. CRATER
  2. VENT
  3. CINDER BEDS
  1. What makes this model different from a composite and a shield volcano?

SHIELD VOLCANO

  1. SUMMIT
  2. NEW LAVA FLOW
  3. MAGMA
  4. OLD LAVA FLOWS
  1. What makes this model different from a cinder and a composite volcano?
      

CONCLUSION: How can you make a model volcano that correctly mirrors a real volcano?
