Try modelling igneous processes using wax and sand with our latest Earthlearningidea - 'Volcano in the lab'This activity models the rise of magma through the 'crust'. Some of it erupts on the surface representing a lava flow whilst some sets within the water mass representing igneous intrusions. Now you really can see what the plumbing system of a volcano looks like!
This is one of many Earthlearningideas relating to volcanic eruptions - click on the Keyword Index on our website to find more.

What did you use as the lighter couloured material in the middle ? Fine Sand ?
They almost have an appearance of those debated mantle plume structures. Wonder what materials you could have used to create the horizonal actions n the crust.
Very nice overall.
Thanks, Kevin
