This week, in Science we're learning about volcanoes and researching about one any volcano we chose, then after this research, we'll be making a handmade volcano in groups.
My chosen Volcano: Olympus Mons (largest volcano in our solar system)
Where is it?
It's on Mars.
When did it last erupt?
According to the internet, Olympus Mons erupted 25 million years ago, it could be much older than this and would have been buried by younger lava flows.
Damage it has done?
If Olympus Mons was on Earth, it would be many times more powerful than any volcano on Earth. Any eruptions from Olympus Mons will cause global disaster and it's possible everyone would die without an underground shelter.
How and when was it formed?
Olympus Mons is the youngest of the large volcanoes on Mars and was formed in 19th century according to astronomers. It probably formed cause by a big convergent boundary where two or more plates collide.
Interesting random facts?
Olympus Mons is 22,000 meter big, so it's two times bigger than Mount Everest.
Myths/legends about it?
Has no myths or legends...
Volcano Pompeii ( we did this things to made our handmade volcano erupt ).
- 15mL of warm water
- 25mL of hydrogen peroxide
- 3 spatulas of potassium iodide into the warm water and stir
Here's the video of our handmade volcano:
