Vocabulary word to know this stop: Constructive Force || media type="custom" key="24545696" Example of lava meeting the ocean to expand the island of Hawaii. || Volcanoes are a constructive force in two main ways. 1)When a volcano explodes, it can blast extremely large amounts of rock and lava quite far - developing hills or even small mountains. 2) It also releases lava that flows over the ground and cools - hardening into a crust which later forms soil. This lava often meets up with the ocean cooling quickly and expanding island sizes. || Finished with the Activity? Question: How are volcanoes constructive? What do they make?

An example of a constructive process is a volcano erupting. This builds up the land around the volcano, making it higher. Shield volcanoes are the most common constructive volcano. The islands of Hawaii were formed due to this constructive process. ||

Volcanic soil is very fertile and after a short time the land will be filled with growing plants and animals. ||
