    My favorite volcano was Paracutin. Lava and cinders started coming out of a crack in the earth's crust in Mexico on a farmers ranch. The molten lava began to cool and the summit rose to over 1,000 feet in height.

    I read about volcanoes around the world and I'd like to talk about it. One of the volcanoes in Mexico grew in a mans farm and the man freaked out. The magma came out into the crust witch destroyed his crops. A little cylinder came out of the small crater.
    Sincerly,

  4. Dear Mr. Moore,
    My favorite volcano that I read about was Mount Pinatubo because In the picture I really liked the way the crust, lava, and ashes looked and formed. I also thought that it was really cool way to describe the way the volcano looked.

  5. Dear East Dragon Den,
    As I read the book on volcanoes, my favorite volcano was "Mount Vesuvius". I chose Mount Vesuvius because it has a such a interesting crater at the summit of the volcano. It looks like a crater in another crater somehow. Also, inside the crater looks like a lake of molten lava or magma. But, this volcano is also dangerous. About 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius caused an eruption that exploded cinders and ashes and destroyed everything in its path. Even so, I still find this volcano the most unique volcano in the book in my opinion.

    Sincerely,
    L,Dalena

  6. Dear Mr.Moore,
    Today while I was reading "Volcanoes around the world", I saw a really cool volcano called "Mount Vesuvius" It is my favorite because of how the crust looks around the volcano. I also like it because of the crater I think it looks interesting. Also the eruption looks cool because it stays in the crust that it has around the volcano. Another thing I like about it is that the thing that it has around the volcano is just molten. I hope you enjoy reading my comment.

    Sincerely, Pamela

  9. Dear Mr,Moore
    The most entrusting volcano was Mount Vesuvius because it is the top of the pack i mean it is the best in the world and i like it because it has a grate eruption and the its crater poped off and got clogged so it had too much lava so it made a new crater. And the ash went over 2,000 miles that is why I like this volcano.

  10. Dear Mr.Moor,Ms.V,Mrs.Thumm,
    The most interesting volcano I read about is the Mount Pinatubo in the Philippians. It is my favorite because they did not know it was a volcano they thought it was a mountain until it began to earupt in 1991 it lasted for weeks.

  12. Dear Mr.Moore, Ms.VanderVelde, And Ms.Thumm,my favorite volcano is Puracutan. Puracutan is in Mexico and a farmer was outside in 1943, then there was magma erupting and it kept erupting. Then the magma turned into lava. The magma kept turning into lava and it built up so high that the lava turned into crust and the crust was as tall as a sky scaper.
    sincerely,
    Anthony

  13. Mr.Moore,
    The volcano that I'm interested is Paricutin because a farmer notices something strange he see's it is cracks and hot lava coming out. I forms a volcano and it starts to erupt all over the country.

    Sincerely,
    William

  14. Dear Mr.Moore, Mrs.VanderVelde, Mrs.Thumm,
    My favorite volcano to read about was Mount Pinatubo Because all at once the summit blew of it. It was beginning to erupt.It was the most powerful eruption.It is interesting to me because as i was reading i could vision the volcano erupting, and all of the smoke ashes and lava just going out of the summit and magma boiling hot coming out of Mount Pinatubo. Another reason it my favorite and interesting to me is because how it just erupted out of no were.

    Sincerely,
    Heaven

    My favorite volcano is Paricutin. It cot me that it started erupting from the ground. I was not expecting it to come from the crust.

  22. Dear Mr. Moore,Mrs. Vandr Velde,Mrs. Thumm,
    One valcano I read and liked was the Mount Pinatudo. I read that the mout had created a crater. People thoght that Mount was sleeping. What I mean by sleeping is when it is not doing anything. I wonder if the lava spouted out or goosed out.
    Sincirily,
    Bella

  23. Dear Mr.Moore and Mrs Vander Valde,
    My favorite was the one on page #3 because I think that it can help you more on understanding what a valcano is. It can show you how the lava explodes! It also shows you how the valcano looks inside. So you can see the magma you can also see the crust and thats why I like that valcano.

    Sincerly,
    Yicel

  25. Dear,Mrs.V,Mrs.Thumb,Mr.Moore and others
    The most interesting volcano that I have read about is the Mountainous Vesuvius. This a mountain that has been told to be extinct. The giant was rumbling the crust and ready to make the magma turn to lava as the eruption comments the world

  26. Dear Mr. Moore,Ms.v,and Ms.Thumm,
    My favorite volcano I read about was Vesuvius. I liked it because it had a lot of information I didn't know. One fact I really enjoyed was that it took over 2,000 to awaken. What I mean by that is that it didn't erupt for 2,000 years.

  27. Dear Ms. Moore and Ms. V

    My favorite volcano was Mount Pinatubo that is in Philps because, nobody knew it was a volcano, it was quite for a long time. One day the volcano started to smoke and there where large big clouds for many weeks. The summit of the volcano blew of. At the sametime people started to leave somewhere safe.
    Sincerly,
    Miranda
