Some of the rocks had stripes.
There was also a place that looked like a bunch of obsidian bubbled out of the ground and dried in a big clump.
We also got some pieces that had been chipped off the big clump and brought them home.
This one looks like a piece of foam and it felt like one too. You can chip pieces off it.
This one is super, super light. This is called pumice. It is lighter than a sponge.
This is me (and my sister) standing next to one of the big chunks of obsidian. It is very smooth. I wish I could take it home and put it in my backyard.
The End.
Sydney, that is so cool! Thanks for sharing about lava rocks. I have seen a volcano in Costa Rica. It was called Arenal and was really neat. It smelled a little stinky at the top because of the sulfur. Glad you had fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Sydney with the write up about your exploration! Looks like a lot of fun to explore...wish we could have been there with you!
ReplyDeletePumice! I have some of that to use on my feet ;)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting, Sydney! You did a great job describing everything. I learned a lot from you today. Maybe next time we come out there you can take us there. It's very beautiful. Too bad you couldn't take that big piece home with you- it would have looked great in your yard! I think you're going to be a scientist when you grow up!
