Have you ever thought about what makes a volcano erupt or what happens afterward? When the temperature rises deep under the Earth’s crust, it becomes hot enough to melt rock and turn it into magma. Sometimes this melted rock blasts through the Earth’s surface, which causes rock, ash, and deadly gases to fly into the air. The lava that flows out of the volcano can knock down trees and destroy houses and even whole towns. Although volcanoes can cause lots of destruction, the volcano’s eruption also creates new land. Many times this new land forms an island in the ocean. You might even live on land created by a volcano!

What happened because melted rock blasts through the Earth's surface?

• The temperature rises under the Earth’s crust

• Rock, ash, and deadly gases fly into the air.

• Volcano eruptions create new land

• New land forms an island in the ocean

• You might live on land created by a volcano.

Last weekend my friend Carina slept over. We stayed up very late playing games and listening to music. My mom came into my room to tell us we had to go to sleep. It was dark, so Carina and I took my dad’s flashlight and played under the covers. I’m not sure when we finally fell asleep, but we left the flashlight on. Yesterday, there was a big thunderstorm and we lost our electricity. Dad went to get his flashlight so we could see, but it didn’t work. He wasn’t very happy when he found out that I had left it on all night and wasted the batteries. So, now I have to rake up all of the leaves that blew around from the storm!

• They lost their electricity

• Carina slept over.

• The girls had left it on all night.

• There was a big thunderstorm.

• They stayed up laying games and listening to music.
