Louise and I get a closer look at fire mountains

(00:29):
and what being a volcanologist is all about.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
Oh, Luise, we shouldn't run in.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
A natural history music. But look, Emily, it's a giant skeleton.
This museum is such a cool place.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, I didn't know you were that much into skeletons
and rocks, but hey.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
I need to take a picture of the skeleton. Come on, MAXI.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
Wait, Louise, I think you drop something.

Speaker 3 (01:18):
No, MAXI, those bones aren't for you.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Dogs on the leash.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Please hear this, Maxie.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Come on. Okay, done, good boy? Now one two, three? Smile.
Awesome picture.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Phew you guys, run fast here, Louise, you drop this rock?

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Oh thanks, Emily, it's a gift from my mom.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
Look at these colors gray but also black, and I
see some green on there too.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
It looks beautiful.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Yes, and it's kind of spiky too. I've never seen
a rock like this, Emily.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
Oh yeah, it's a rare fine Louise, let me take
a closer look.

Speaker 3 (02:01):
I think this one is Do you know where it's from?

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Hmm, well it might be from a volcano.

Speaker 3 (02:10):
Volcano. Is that one of those giant mountains that spitfire.

Speaker 1 (02:14):
Yes, basically, it's an opening in the Earth's crust and
there's a room in this museum with a replica.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
Let's go see it.

Speaker 3 (02:24):
Let's go. Come on, Maxi.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
There it is the Fuego volcano, one of the most
active volcanoes in the world. It spit ashes one hundred
times a day.

Speaker 3 (02:44):
Wow, the volcano goes girl like Maxi.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Yes, sometimes they tremble and make the earth shake. Luis,
why don't you press this button under the Fuego replica.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Oh? I don't know what if it starts shaking the earth.

Speaker 1 (03:02):
Oh, it's only a replica. It won't make the Earth tremble.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Okay.

Speaker 5 (03:12):
There's many things that volcanoes can teach us about our planets.
One it's that we have to be patients with nature.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
Oh, who's that? That's Sam Mitchell, an incredible traveler and volcanologist.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
Volcano is their visual They're explosive. You can see the larber,
you can see these big columns of ash and seem
coming out of them. So I've seen these things with
my own eyes, and I think that was the biggest appeal.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
I just love how much Sam loves volcanoes, So luis.
A volcanologist is someone who tries to understand how and
why volcanoes go boom. They also help communities to stay
safe from volcanic eruptions.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
So volcanologists are superheroes.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
Yes they are. This volcanologist's name is Sam Mitchell. He
has explored the most dangerous volcanoes from all around the world.
I'm glad he recorded a video for the museum.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
There's so many wonderful things that volcanoes can give to us,
but we also always have to understand their danger. So
we always have to appreciate nature and how powerful it
can be, you know, Louise.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Volcanoes help our planet be a place where we can
actually live in. Lots of natural gases that come out
of volcanoes help the Earth stay warm all year round,
no matter the.

Speaker 3 (04:37):
Seasons, stay warm. That reminds me Emily.

Speaker 2 (04:42):
I et a volcano once k you what what do
you mean?

Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yeah, it was made of chocolate and it was warm too,
and it had a hole with hot chocolate.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
Yum. It was so good.

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Oh you mean a chocolate lava cake. I love that
dessert too. We can have one later.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yes, please please?

Speaker 2 (05:08):
Do you know why it's called a chocolate lava cake, Louise?

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Nope?

Speaker 1 (05:13):
Why because lava is molten rock that comes out from
a volcano, just like hot chocolate. And did you know
that when actual lava is still underground, it's called magma.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
Magma, what a cool name.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
It is cool when it's actually very hot.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
I get it, kind of like extremely hot chocolate.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
But Emily, what does chocolate have to do with this rock? Hmm?

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Excellent question, Louise.

Speaker 1 (05:42):
Imagine if your hot chocolate came out of its volcano biscuit,
but instead of eating it, you let it just sit there.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
That would be a silly thing to do. But okay,
for how long?

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Just start with maybe an hour?

Speaker 3 (05:56):
Ouch? I guess after that, my hot chocolate it's.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
No longer hot, exactly right? And what do you think
will happen if you leave it there for even longer?

Speaker 4 (06:06):
I guess it'll become less gooey, and eventually, eventually it
becomes hard.

Speaker 1 (06:13):
Bingo, thanks for tagging along on this episode of growing
up about the exciting adventures of volcanologists and remember a
little listener, dream big, and always stay curious. Louise, are
you ready for more adventures?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
