VolCAnoes 5th Grade CA

The hot melted rock underneath the earth's crust is called magma.

The sentence describes a situation where something hot is being expelled from a volcano and causing the town to be evacuated. The word that best fits this description is "lava," as it refers to the hot, molten rock that is ejected during a volcanic eruption. The other options, such as "molten" and "magma," are related to volcanic activity but do not specifically refer to the material that is being violently expelled. "Hawaiian punch" is not a relevant term in this context.

The word "molten" means made liquid by heat. It is used to describe a substance that has been heated to the point of becoming a liquid, typically referring to metals or rocks that have been melted.

In this context, "cliff" is the most suitable vocabulary word to complete the sentence. A cliff refers to a steep, high face of rock, especially one that is along a coast or the edge of a mountain, which one can look out from. The use of "cliff" implies a specific viewing point that contrasts with being at the "bottom of the mountain," providing a visual and physical separation between the two parties mentioned in the sentence. Therefore, the corrected sentence reads as: "We gazed out from the cliff while our parents stayed at the bottom of the mountain," highlighting a scenario where the speaker and possibly others are at a higher, more precarious position compared to their parents.

The correct answer is "strato" because it refers to "stratovolcano," which is the most common type of volcano. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep slopes and alternating layers of lava and ash. They are also known for their explosive eruptions and can be found in locations such as the Pacific Ring of Fire.
