Natural Science Series Anatomy of a Volcano mountain fold line

Beneath a volcano lies a pocket of magma, or
molten rock. As the magma mingles with
steam or hot gasses and pressure builds up,
the magma rises through rifts in the Cross section part B (back)
surrounding rock, and at last erupts from the
earth's surface. This volcano has a caldera,
caused by a collapse or cave-in of the
surrounding area.

*Cut out the card above and save it. You can collect the cards from each of the Papercraft
projects to make your own mini-book!

Directions
Print out pages 1 through 4, cut out each individual part along their cut lines,
and fold along the mountain and valley fold lines.

1. Build the cross-section 2. Attach the caldera
