VOLCANO SONG

THE VOLCANO SONG


What's it like when volcanoes blow?
This is something you ought to know:
pressure buiLds without interruption
and then explodes in a volcanic eruption.

When volcanoes erupt, here's what they do:
the pressure makes ash and lava spew.
Boulders can get thrown through the air.
Move back -don't stand and stare!

It's letting off pressure.
It's not going to wait.
It is going to get to that balance state
where forces are equal: equilibrium.
Then the pressure starts building up again.

and then explodes in a volcanic eruption.


Remember this from your science classes?
A volcano's forces are magma and gases
the underground pressure gets too high
and the volcano blows up in the sky.
