Volcano Building




INSIDE EARTH
As you can see the Convection Cell is like an elevator for the lava, the Cell moves the lava around in a circle so it can stay hot, it goes up to cool down the lava then it goes down to reheat, a little bit like a lava lamp!
 
 
The Outer Core is protected with the Convection Cell, the deeper you go into the earth the more hotter lava there will be, also, when you get deeper you will probably notice that the lava will change colour to a lighter orange. In the Inner core the lava is protected with an iron belt of white lava! it burns stuff in slow-motion!
if the Convection Cell gets a little crazy it will force the land to collide together which will create a mountain, if it continues to collide the lava will get squashed and make the lava burst at the top of the mountain which will make a Volcano, but that doesn't mean its an active volcano, if the plates collide underneath the volcano it will erupt!
