Volcanoes:
How do volcanoes form?Volcanoes usually form around the area where two tectonic plates make contact with each other, or due to the movement of them. While these two tectonic plates make contact, they're forming friction which then causes the crust of the earth to melt. When the crust begins to melt it makes the rock underneath the crust to turn into magma all because of the great temperatures created by friction. Once the magma reaches the earth's surface, a volcano is formed.
Where are volcanoes usually formed?
Volcanoes are usually formed when a tectonic plate sinks into the earth's mantle underneath another mantle. One place where volcanoes are found is the: ring of fire. This is because of how this place has many subduction zones.
Mount Etna:Mount Etna is an active stratovolcano(a volcano built up of alternate layers of lava and ash.), placed on the east coast of Sicily, Italy. According to research, This volcano is placed above the convergent plate margin between the African Plate and the Eurasian plate.
When did it last erupt?
2014 - 2019 and is still ongoing

Damage:
Triggered a 4.3 and 4.8 magnitude earthquake that injured 28 people and left 600 people homeless.

Elephant toothpaste ingredients:
- 4 spatulas of potassium iodide in 20mL of water - speeds the reaction
- 35% (or 20%) hydrogen peroxide
H2O2 + H20 + O2
- Dishwashing liquid
- Food colouring
Method:
Add the potassium to the 20mL of water
In your volcano, add you Hydrogen peroxide, dishwashing liquid, and food colouring
Add the potassium iodide and water in the volcano - take it outside* explode outside*

Conclusion:
Once we added the combination of Potassium Iodine and water to the things inside the volcano, it took a while for it to react. When it did react it came out really slow but big and really good because of the colour and the glitter. Also, the city was saved.
