The day of the volcano

So on this day we went to the Newberry volcanic monument and it was pretty fun we learned so much about the rocks there and how they formed and so much stuff related to that. It was very interesting the tour guide was telling me that the volcano went through the spot we hiked. By the way we went on a hike and we heard so much about lava and the rocks that they formed the way the looked. It wasn't very complicated to learn how they worked the lava on top froze or cooled down and turned black and smoothed itself out. We also went to a cave and went all the way through well not all the way through but we got to go to the point where you had to crawl on your stomach all the way through but we did not do that because the cave had a sign not to do that. This is not a picture of the volcano but this is one of the best pictures that reminded me of the volcano.


The hike through the cave was very interesting there were signs telling you about lava shelves, and it got interesting because it involved lava and that is so interesting to me in so many ways. Learning about what has gone through that cave helped me understand what the lava did when it went through the parts where the caves have formed. I also learned that there are different forms of rocks that the lava could form I didn't get the names of the rocks though.
