Shield volcano project

This is the classic volcano project, right? But I liked how quick and easy (yet accurate!) this model turned out to be. Eruption! Examining the empty caldera We found the method in a book, I think. You tape a plastic cup to the middle of a paper plate, surround it with wadded-up newspapers (to support the volcano sides), cover the whole thing with foil, and then cut a hole in the foil above the cup so you can use it to hold your baking soda/vinegar mixture. So easy. Seb and Ky chose to…

Shields are another common type of volcanic landform. They have gentle slopes relative to stratovolcanoes. Construction of a model of a shield follows the same basic steps as the model for stratovolcanoes. Step 1. The Base The piece of cardboard will be the base of the volcano. Tape a film canister near the center. The vial will be the lava pond or magma conduit. Step 2. The Interior The interior of your volcano will be made of newspaper wrapped in tape. Make balls from the newspaper. You…

The name "shield volcano" originated from its Roman shield-like shape. They are broad, flat and can stretch hundreds of miles wide like Mauna Loa in Hawaii.
