1 00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: Welcome to Growing Up with Emily, a Lingo kids podcast 2 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,800 Speaker 1: that helps kids discover how to be whatever they want 3 00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: to be. Join us on an epic adventure to uncover 4 00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: the secrets behind Dawson skills, cool hobbies, and the incredible 5 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,560 Speaker 1: journeys of people who followed their dreams. In this episode, 6 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,520 Speaker 1: Luis and I get a closer look at fire mountains 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: and what being a volcanologist is all about. Side Now, 8 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: let's talk to Sam about the cool adventures volcanologists get 9 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: to have. 10 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: Emily and I, please please please have the first question. 11 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: After playing the game with Sam, I really want to 12 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: ask him one thing. Sure, Luise, fire away Sam. Have 13 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 2: you seen a volcano with lava in person? 14 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: Ooh, that's called a volcanic eruption. 15 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 3: Yes, I have seen a couple of volcanic eruptions in person. 16 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 3: One of them is Estromboli, which is in Italy. Back then, 17 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: that was a volcano that used to erupt very very frequently. 18 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 2: Wow. 19 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 3: And if you saw it at nighttime, you just see 20 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: these red explosions every ten to fifteen minutes. And then 21 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,600 Speaker 3: I've also seen lava flowries in Hawaii as well during 22 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: an eruption. 23 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: It must be so beautiful to see in person. And 24 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: how old were you when you first got into volcano? Sam? 25 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 3: I was around eleven years old when I started getting 26 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: interested in these things. With my mum. We'd pick up books, 27 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 3: bring them back home, and we'd sit there and go 28 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 3: to these books together. Some of them were more like textbooks, 29 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: so they were more like scientific Some of them were 30 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,559 Speaker 3: a bit more adventurous, with lots of pictures and descriptions 31 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,920 Speaker 3: about places around the world. So I just I started reading. 32 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 2: I want one of those books. What cool volcano can 33 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 2: I read about? Sam? What's your favorite one? 34 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,399 Speaker 3: So I think I would have lots of favorite volcanoes, 35 00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,120 Speaker 3: but I'd say the favorite one that's the most interesting 36 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 3: to me is one in Tanzania called Oldoinno Lengai. 37 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: Hold on, Emily, did you get that name again? 38 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,360 Speaker 1: Yes, it's Oldoino Lenguai. It means mountain of God for 39 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,919 Speaker 1: the Massai tribes. 40 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 2: Volcanoes have epic names everywhere. Why is this one so special? 41 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 3: Because it erupts a very special type of lava, and 42 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 3: this lava when it erupts out, it's colder than a 43 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 3: lot of lava's around the world, so it doesn't shine 44 00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 3: red orange. It's actually black and it's as runny as water, 45 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 3: so it's really really interesting. And then when it cools down, 46 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,519 Speaker 3: it's tones into a white rock. 47 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: It's a cookies and cream volcano. 48 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: Ooh, sounds delicious. What other types of volcanoes do you study? 49 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 3: The volcanoes I study. You're actually in the ocean and 50 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: on the sea floor. So what we do in my 51 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 3: kind of research expeditions is we go out on large 52 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 3: ships out to sea and we go to an area 53 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: where maybe there's a volcano on the sea floor, and 54 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,880 Speaker 3: we will send scientific equipment down to the sea floor 55 00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 3: to go and collect samples. 56 00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: I never thought that volcanoes could get you to the 57 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,040 Speaker 1: deepest depths of the ocean. It sounds like you can 58 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 1: see Earth like no one has seen it before. 59 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 3: Yes, the special moment for me was we were going 60 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: down in this submersible all the way down to the 61 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 3: sea floor. It took us about twenty minutes to get there, 62 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 3: and we went six hundred meters deep, so over two 63 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: thousand feet and when we arrived, you just see the 64 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: sea floor through them through the window in the submersible, 65 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 3: and you're the very first person who has maybe ever 66 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 3: seen that part of the sea floor, so that was 67 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 3: incredibly special. 68 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: Wow. Sam, you like the first man on the Moon 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,280 Speaker 2: but underwater. Ooh, nice one, Louise, Sam, I've been wanting 70 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: to ask this for so long. Here, I have this rock. 71 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 2: It's really nothing special. My mom gave it to me. 72 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: She brought it from a trip. How can I know 73 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: if it's a volcanic rock. 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 3: Oh, there's lots of little things. Sometimes you can't always tell. 75 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 3: Sometimes rocks can be very good at keeping their secrets. 76 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 3: And if you can see these little green, round crystals 77 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 3: in there, that might mean it's a special type of 78 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 3: volcanic rock or basalts. 79 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: I think I see no crystals here. 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 3: Another thing you can look for is lots of holes 81 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: in your rock. So Magma when it's in the ground 82 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: and is full of bubbles of gas. So if there's 83 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 3: lots of little holes, those are where the bubbles of 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 3: gas used to be trapped, and when the rock cools down, 85 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 3: there's bubbles of gas get trapped and they remain as 86 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: little holes in your rock. 87 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, this one's like cheese, but with even more holes. 88 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: Then I think it's safe to. 89 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 2: Say that this rock is volcanic rock. Maxie. Thank you. 90 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: So much for helping us out, Sam, Louise, what do 91 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,720 Speaker 1: you think about volcanoes? 92 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: I think they're super important for our planet. They're also beautiful, 93 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: but also dangerous and super duper powerful. And that you 94 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 2: can study volcanoes from the depth of the oceans. I'd 95 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: love to know so much more about them. 96 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Should we get that lava cake now? 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 2: Yes, just with no ashes and gases. Please. 98 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for tagging along on this episode of Growing up 99 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: about the exciting adventures of volcanologists, and remember, little listener, 100 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 1: dream big, and always stay curious. 101 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: Louise, are you ready. 102 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: For more adventures? 103 00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 2: Wait?
