There over 15 hundred active volcanoes in the world
2 countries use geothermal energy
100 volcanoes in Japan
Iceland and New Zealand use geothermal energy
Inside a volcano is magma outside it is lava.
Yellowstone is a supervolcano
Mt. St. Helens
The magma chamber is either in the mantel or the crust
There are 7 tectonic plates
Tectonic plates make earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
It takes 4 thousand years for water to perculate into the earth and then come back up
The pacific ring of fire is where the most volcanic eruptions are
The Pacific plate sinks Same with the Australian plate
Obsisian is lava that is turned into rock really fast
Magma can blow off the top of the volcano it creates a caldera

Pop art is an art movement that emerged in the mid-1950s in Britain and in the late 1950s in the United States. Pop art presented a challenge to traditions of fine art by including imagery from popular culture such as advertising, news, etc.
When he graduated from college with his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1949, Warhol moved to New York City to pursue a career as a commercial artist.
He landed a job with Glamour magazine in September, and went on to become one of the most successful commercial artists of the 1950s. He won frequent awards for his uniquely whimsical style, using his own blotted line technique and rubber stamps to create his drawings.
n pop art, material is sometimes visually removed from its known context, isolated, and/or combined with unrelated material.[1][2] The concept of pop art refers not as much to the art itself as to the attitudes that led to it.[2]

I think every kid should have a Historical Reenactment because they can see what it was like back then. I also think you should have one because when you are learning about it in a book I think you don't learn very much, but when you see it like it was back then. Then I think you learn better.

Joseph O'Fallon
I look forward to meeting him because I want to know what it was like to be a trapper. I also look forward to meeting him because it said he was a scout for the French Marines and I want to know what the marines were like. Finally, I want to meet him because he was in the military once and I want to know what it was like.

Peter Smith
I look forward to meeting him because he was a militia ranger in the Virginia colony and I want to know what a ranger in the military does and also because I like learning about the militia back then. I also look forward to meeting him because he escaped from the British and Indians and I want to know how.
