The inside of the earth is 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 vni i ha\/P QPPn a kEtla ■ 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. ■ Vesuvius is the name of a very famous volcano in Italy. It first came to life many, many years ago. It was quiet for hundreds of years. Then in 79 AD it suddenly burst. A great cloud of smoke shot up into the sky with great burning rocks, which fell all around. Hot lava poured down its sides. About 3, 000 people were killed. ■译文 ■关于火山的一些知识 有成千上万的火山遍布世界各地。是什么导致了火山的形成？发生了什 么事？ I 地球的内部很热。因为它非常非常热，所以岩石已经像冰那样熔化了。 它已成为液体，如水一样。它总是像水在壶里那样沸腾。如果你见过一壶水 在沸腾，你就知道蒸汽和沸腾的水试图要出来的样子。地球内部非常热的熔 化的岩石也试图出来。通常它出不来，因为地球的表层太厚太牢固了。 ■但在某些地方，地球的表层又薄又脆 弱。有时一条缝隙（即一个小口）出现了。 热的熔化的岩石一我们称之为“熔岩”- -通过缝隙往外涌，然后喷涌而岀。蒸汽 和气体迅速升到空中，熔化的热熔岩流了 岀来。大块的岩石有可能被抛到高空中。 ■过一会儿，火山又会安静下来。熔化 的熔岩变得坚硬无比。后来，同样的事情 又接二连三地发生。每一次更多热的熔岩 流岀覆盖到冷却的熔岩上，然后再变硬。 这样，一座山就慢慢形成了，在它的中间 ■维苏威火山是意大利非常有名的火山。 好多年前，它首次活跃起来。它安静了几 百年，然后在公元79年突然爆发。浓烟伴 随着燃烧的岩石直上云霄，岩石到处散落 ,滚烫的熔岩四处倾泻。大约有3 000人 丧生。 ■词海拾贝 ■ 1- burst through突然出现；突破 ■ 2- shoot up迅速上升；猛增 ■ 3.
