Blog comment

This is a comment that I left on Finao's blog for his "Auckland Volcanos" presentation. 

Auckland Volcanos

This is a presentation that Leila and I made. We found out how many volcanoes there are in Auckland, what their names are, the definitions of an active, extinct and a dormant volcano, and examples of them.  We have also included some pictures and the web-sites we used to find this information.  

Poetry this week

Volcano

Magma,

Melted, molten rock,

Like soup that boils,

In a crock...

Beneath the Earth,

It rolls and roils,

Beneath the Earth,

It turns and toils...

Pressure grows,

Magma escapes,

Blows through holes,

Of different shapes...

Mountain cones,

Ring of fire,

Volcanoes blow,

Ash flies higher!

Magma flows,

Becomes hot lava,

Cools to make,

A place like Java...

Magma comes,

From underground,

And flows in lava,

All around...

Listen now,

Don't interrupt,

When volcanoes blow,

They do erupt!
