Philistines!

Daughter who has just sat Geology GCSE and is going on to A level in it next year has made Volcanoes a bit of a speciality and was more than pleased with the picture and linky that I email over to her (in her room like) so your picture was not really ignored. THW intends to add it and the others from the link to her portfolio of recent volcanic activity in readiness for the next project she already knows she will have to do in October.




A volcano on Krakatoa is still erupting. Perhaps most famous for the powerfully explosive eruption in 1883 that killed tens of thousands of people, ash from a violent eruption might also have temporarily altered Earth's climate as long as 1500 years ago. In 1927, eruptions caused smaller Anak Krakatau to rise from the sea, and the emerging volcanic island continues to grow at an average rate of 2 cm per day. The latest eruption of Anak Krakatau started in 2008 April and continues today. In this picture, Anak Krakatau is seen erupting from Rakata, the main island of the Krakatoai group.

Whatever. You can do volcano style stuff in a microwave if you are that keen. A plaster of paris volcano, iron filings and some golden syrup can be quite effective I find
