Here is a five-panel comic strip plan specifically about a volcano, expanding on the previous four-panel concept to fit your five-panel requirement. Project: The Life Cycle of a Volcano Chosen Landform: Volcano Chosen Process: Tectonic Plates (Convergent boundary causing subduction) Your Five-Panel Comic Strip Plan Below is a breakdown of what to include in each of your five panels: Panel 1: The Beginning (Peaceful Ocean Floor) Visuals: A flat ocean floor where two tectonic plates meet. The scene is calm, with a few fish swimming. The boundary is marked by a simple line or slight trench. Caption/Speech Bubble: "Deep in the ocean, two massive tectonic plates move slowly towards each other. For now, the boundary is quiet." Panel 2: Force & Process Start (Subduction Begins) Visuals: An arrow shows the denser oceanic plate diving under the continental plate. Heat lines and the word "Friction!" appear as the rock starts to melt in the mantle. Caption/Speech Bubble: "The denser plate subducts, forced deep into the hot mantle. Intense heat and pressure cause the rock to melt into magma." Panel 3: Change Over Time (Underwater Growth) Visuals: Magma bubbles rise through cracks in the upper plate, forming an underwater mound. Small, contained underwater eruptions create layers of lava and ash, building the structure of a seamount. Caption/Speech Bubble: "The magma rises and erupts on the ocean floor. Over thousands of years, these eruptions build an underwater mountain, layer by See more
