Description
In Episode 4, we dig into a question that's as explosive as it sounds: 火山为什么会爆发？Why Do Volcanoes Erupt?
第四集，我们来探讨一个像它本身一样"爆炸性"的问题：火山为什么会爆发？
Together, we discover what's been boiling beneath the Earth's surface all along, how pressure builds until the planet has no choice but to let it out, and why volcanoes — as destructive as they are — helped create the world we live in today.
我们一起探索地底下一直在翻腾的东西究竟是什么，压力是如何不断累积直到地球别无选择只能释放它，以及火山—尽管具有破坏性—是如何塑造了我们今天生活的这个世界。
Along the way, we practice five key vocabulary words in context, with sentences your child can use right away.
火山 huǒ shān (volcano)
地壳 dì qiào (Earth's crust)
岩浆 yán jiāng (magma)
熔岩 róng yán (lava)

Discussion
Keep the conversation going after the episode. Here are a few questions to ask your little one.
Lava is so hot it melts rock. What's the hottest thing you've ever touched?
岩浆很热，热到可以把石头都融化。你摸过的最热的东西是什么？If you built your own volcano out of clay or blocks, what would you put inside it?
如果你用黏土或积木做一座火山，你想在里面放什么？If you could safely watch a volcano erupt from far away, would you want to?
如果可以从很远很安全的地方看火山爆发，你想看吗？
