It s hot liquid rock inside the Earth. Interviewer: Liquid rock? Yes, it is very hot below the Earth s surface. The rock melts and it becomes a hot liquid. There s water and there are also gases inside the Earth and they become very hot, too. Interviewer: Do the hot gases build up a lot of pressure? Part 2 The liquid rock, water and hot gases build up a lot of pressure. 3.10 Interviewer: I understand there are volcanoes under the sea. Yes, there are. Undersea volcanoes have vents.

Top deck 2 Assessment test Answer key Unit 1 (Level 1) Activity 2 3.11 Do you know about volcanoes in Hawaii? Do you know about angry gods? Listen to The Legend of Pele. Pele is a famous goddess in Hawaii. She is the goddess of fire and volcanoes. Her father is the god of the sky and Earth. One day, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, Pele put some big craters in the Earth s surface. One of the craters is the crater we now call Diamond Head. It is in Honolulu. Pele travelled to other islands and put more craters in the Earth s surface. The legend tells us that people were afraid of Pele. And many people today are afraid of her. Do you know why? When she is angry, she does terrible things to people. When people take something from her islands, she is very angry. And bad things start to happen to them. Many people round the world visit the volcanoes in Hawaii every year. They go to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park wants their visitors to have a good time. They tell visitors, Please do not take our volcanic rock. The rock must stay here. It is Pele s rock! Pele is very angry when people take her volcanic rock. Do not take it home with you. But every year, a lot of visitors take home a small piece of volcanic rock. And do you know what happens? The visitors go home and bad things start to happen. After one month or two months, they remember the legend of Pele. Many people every year put the volcanic rock in a box and send it back to Hawaii. You can read about Pele on the Internet.
