Transcript Hello, friends! Are you wondering what this is? Well, it's the molten lava that comes out from a volcano. Come, let me tell you what a volcano is. I'm sure you've seen mountains that open up and blurt out thick molten semi-solid like substance? Well, that's called a volcano. Let's learn more about it. A volcano is a vent or chimney that connects magma from within the Earth's crust to the Earth's surface. The liquid rock is called magma when it is under the Earth's surface and lava after it comes out. So how does a volcano erupt? The molten rock stored in the magma chamber rises through the crater pipe pockets. As it travels up the main vent, gasses expand and water becomes steam, creating pressure. When the pressure can no longer be contained the volcano erupts through the crater and secondary side vents. Common volcanic gases include water vapor, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen chloride hydrogen, fluoride and hydrogen sulfide. Popular belief is that volcanoes are large cone-shaped mountains but that's not true. There are many more types of volcanoes such as wide plateaus, fissure vents and bulging dome shapes. There are also volcanoes found on the ocean floor and even under ice caps such as those found in Iceland.
The word volcano originally comes from the name of the Roman god of fire Vulcan. The tallest volcano in the solar system isn't on Earth at all but on Mars. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Task. Read the text about volcanoes. Answer the questions.
A volcano is a mountain where molten rock erupts through the surface. The name "volcano" has its origin from the name of Vulcan, a god of fire in Roman mythology. Magma is a liquid rock inside a volcano. Lava is liquid rock (magma) that flows out of a volcano. There are around 1,510 active volcanoes in the world. We currently know of 80 or more, which are under the oceans. When magma erupts through the earth’s surface it is called “lava”. Over half of the world’s volcanoes arise in a belt around the Pacific Ocean called the “Ring of Fire”. Use joined-up handwriting to write answers. 1. What word has its origin from the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology? 2. What do we call a liquid rock inside a volcano? 3. How do we name a liquid rock that flows out of a volcano? 4. What is the name of a group of volcanos around the Pacific Ocean? | |

Teacher can read the transcript: There are aliens out there, somewhere. I strongly believe this. Not sure what they look like, though. I really doubt they are green, like they are in science fiction movies. I also don’t think they look like us. But I’m sure they exist. I just don’t think we’ll ever see any or find any. They live too far away. If you think about it logically, there has to be aliens out there. All a planet needs is to be warm and have water and life will exist. There are billions and billions of planets in the universe, so there are probably millions and millions that have life. Alien life. It’s also likely that some of the aliens are much more intelligent than we are. I wonder what we’d do if really intelligent aliens visited the Earth. What would we ask them?

He knows the name, maker, engine size and top speed of every car. He talks non-stop about the cars. I’d like to buy a sports car or a hybrid car. My brother thinks these are boring. He says a car should be powerful and fast. I don’t agree. I think cars should get you from A to B and be big enough for me and my friends. I prefer smaller cars because they are easier to park.
