Ascending magma
by Ned Kahn
No, it is not real magma, but this model magma nevertheless makes it clear to us what processes are going on deep under a volcanic vent. Air is blown in from below between two glass plates filled with glass powder. The air-sand mixture rises, makes passages, forms chambers and sinks again elsewhere. It really does give you the feeling of watching a volcanic vent in cross-section!
