The Sleeping Giant
A volcano is like a giant that is sleeping. It stays quiet most of the time, just like when Mazlo is sleeping.
1
Waking Up
Sometimes the giant wakes up. It happens when the earth's crust moves and magma from inside the earth begins to rise.
2
The Giant's Roar
When the giant is fully awake, it roars. This is when a volcano erupts, sending out lava, ash, and gases.
3
The Giant's Gifts
Even though the giant's roar can be scary, it also brings gifts. The lava and ash make the soil very rich for plants to grow.
4
The Giant Sleeps Again
After the giant has roared, it goes back to sleep. The volcano becomes quiet again until the next time it wakes up.
