Coloring Tips

Volcanoes are all about contrast and drama!

• Mountain: You can make the mountain itself shades of grey, brown, or even dark green if it's covered in trees. Use different shades for depth!

• Lava: This is where you can go wild with reds, oranges, and yellows! Start with yellow near the crater and blend outwards to orange and then red for a super hot effect.

• Smoke/Ash: Light greys, darker greys, and even a touch of black can create a realistic smoke cloud. Don't forget to make it wispy!

• Sky: A vibrant blue sky can make the eruption stand out, or you could go for a stormy grey sky to add to the dramatic effect.

• Ground: Greens for grass, browns for dirt, or even sandy yellows. Let your imagination flow like lava!

Fun Facts

Did you know that volcanoes are like windows to the Earth's inside? * A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock (magma) below the surface of the Earth. When pressure builds up, the magma, ash, and gases erupt through the opening! * The word "volcano" comes from Vulcano, a volcanic island in Italy whose name in turn comes from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire. * Lava is what we call molten rock once it comes out of the volcano. When it's still underground, it's called magma. * Not all volcanoes are shaped like cones! Some are flat shields, and others are underwater. * Eruptions can be slow and gentle, or they can be explosive and powerful, sending ash high into the sky!
