Oceans

Forms Of Land Made, By
Lava,!(:

It is recommended that you wear comfortable socks and walking shoes or hiking boots.  Year-round the weather varies on the volcano, so be prepared for all climates, hot, damp, and cold.  Bring sunscreen and wear a hat.  We suggest bringing sweatshirts as well as a wind-breaker or raincoat or gore-tex jacket to layer on your clothes.  Although there are ample water fountains in the park, we suggest you bring water with you, especially if you will be hiking.  Don't forget your camera!  If you plan to view the lava flows after dusk, remember to bring one flashlight per person

The Water Cycle


Earth's water is always in movement, and the water cycle, also known as the hydrologic cycle, describes the continuous movement of water on, above, and below the surface of the Earth. Although the balance of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time, individual water molecules can come and go in a hurry. Since the water cycle is truly a "cycle," there is no beginning or end. Water can change states among liquid, vapor, and ice at various places in the water cycle, with these processes happening in the blink of an eye and over millions of years.!(:
