Unit 5　The power of nature 火山在地球上喷发已有数百万年了，其中五百多座火山还在喷发着，这也显示了地球本身的力量。是什么导致了火山？到底发生了什么事？那火山带指的是什么？让我们来了解一下吧。 There are thousands of volcanoes all over the world.What makes volcanoes？What happens? The inside of the earth is very hot.Because it is very，very hot，the rock has melted like ice.It has become liquid，like water.It is always boiling，like water in a kettle.If you have seen a kettle boiling，you know that the steam and boiling water try to get out.The very hot melted rock inside the earth also tries to get out.Usually it cannot because the outside of the earth is too thick and strong. But in some places the outside of the earth is thin and weak.Sometimes a crack (a small opening) appears.The hot melted rock，which we call“lava”，pushes up through the crack and bursts through.Steam and gas shoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out.Big pieces of rock may be thrown high into the air. After a while the volcano becomes quiet again.The melted lava becomes hard.Later the same thing happens again and again.Each time more hot lava pours out on top of the cold lava and then becomes hard.In this way a kind of mountain is built up，with a hole down the middle .Perhaps the volcano will then be quiet and no more lava will burst out.Perhaps it will start again hundreds of years later. 1．melt v． (使)融化，(使)熔化 2．kettle n. 水壶 3．lava n. 岩浆，熔岩 1．What is the hot melted rock called? 2．Will volcanoes start again after lava bursts out? 【答案】　1.Lava. 2．Some will and some wont.
