00:00Way, way up where the planets do the hula.
00:03Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zula.
00:06Let's take off.
00:07We're all ready to go.
00:09It's fun to learn with the Zula Patrol.
00:13Wake up, Gorgah.
00:14It's time to play.
00:16Come on, Captain Bula.
00:18It's welcome the day.
00:19Where's that cedar?
00:21Ready to go.
00:22Wizzy and Wig are good to glow.
00:26Beakers bobblin' turnin' blue.
00:29Molto's making something new.
00:32Way, way up where the planets do the hula.
00:35Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zula.
00:39See you around, oh, Submission Control.
00:42It's fun to learn with the Zula Patrol.
00:45Way, way up where the planets do the hula.
00:48Spin and shot till you find yourself on Zula.
00:51See you around, oh, Submission Control.
00:54It's fun to learn with the Zula Patrol.
01:05Space. It's one of the most interesting workplaces around.
01:10Take the Zula Patrol.
01:12Today, their job is to measure a volcano that looks like it's erupting snow.
01:17Wow, that's going to make a pretty big snowman.
01:22These volcanoes on Jupiter's moon isle sure are hot stuff.
01:26Or in this case, hot stuff that becomes cold stuff.
01:31These hot sulfur eruptions cool off in space and become almost like snow.
01:37Sulfur snow, of course.
01:39I never knew moons of other planets even had volcanoes.
01:43Oh my, yes. A few of them have volcanoes that erupt, like that one.
01:49Other moons have volcanoes that no longer erupt.
01:52And this one's very active.
01:59Volcanoes really are awesome, Molto.
02:02But what exactly is a volcano?
02:05I'd be happy to show you in the Molto-pedias.
02:11Volcanoes are hills or mountains that form around a crack in the Earth's surface or crust.
02:17This sometimes can take a few weeks or it can take millions of years.
02:22Like the crust on a sandwich?
02:25Exactly.
02:27Only in this case, the crust is the top layer of a planet like Earth.
02:32Oh, I get it.
02:34The crust is the solid rock part where everybody lives.
02:37That's right.
02:38But underneath the crust, there's another layer of rock and material that's been melted by heat.
02:43Scientists call this material magma.
02:46It looks like melted cheese.
02:49But it's much hotter.
02:51So hot, in fact, that the magma pushes the crust, the land, apart.
02:56And the pressure from below causes the magma to rise up through the crack.
03:01It looks like it's searching for the weakest spot in the crust to pop out of.
03:05It is.
03:06And when it finds the weakest spot and comes out of the crack, it's called an eruption.
03:12As soon as the magma is on the outside of the volcano, it gets a new name.
03:16Lava.
03:17When hot lava pours out of the volcano, like it's doing right now, the volcano is called an active volcano.
03:27When a volcano is not erupted for some time, but shows signs that it could erupt,
03:32we call that an inactive or dormant volcano.
03:36It's kind of like it's sleeping.
03:38Yes, but the volcano could wake up at any time and start pouring hot lava out.
03:43Then it would be called an active volcano again.
03:47There are also very old volcanoes that haven't erupted in a very long time.
03:53We call these types of volcanoes extinct.
03:57Wow.
03:59That's our volcano hotline.
04:01We'd better go answer it.
04:02Fast.
04:06It's Voop!
04:07Zula Patrol, thank goodness you're there.
04:10I'm really worried about my cousin Fielding.
04:13Voop, what's wrong?
04:15He was supposed to have a tiny eruption, but he didn't.
04:18I'm worried that if he doesn't erupt soon, pressure could build up inside him and his small eruption could turn
04:26into a really big one.
04:28A major eruption could hurt the area around him.
04:31Can you help him?
04:33This is a job for the Zula Patrol.
04:40I'm sorry you had to make a special trip.
04:42I'm sure it's nothing.
04:44Well, you do look a little dormant.
04:46Inactive, that is.
04:47But other than that, I can't find anything wrong with you, Fielding.
04:52I'm still concerned.
04:54He's supposed to be an active volcano.
04:57Something's just not right.
04:59I think I'd better go inside Fielding and take a closer look.
05:03Can we go with you?
05:05We want to see what goes on inside a volcano.
05:07Why don't we all go?
05:09But it's going to be really, really hot in there.
05:12We're going to need some special protection.
05:18I'm going to draw what we see when we're inside Fielding.
05:21So you're doing a field drawing of Fielding?
05:25I'll draw one, too.
05:27That way we'll have a record of everything we see.
05:29And maybe it will help us help Fielding.
05:36Oh, a fact tickles.
05:39This reminds me of an elevator shaft.
05:41Yes, this is where the magma would flow up if Fielding was erupting.
05:48Oh, my stars.
05:50Now, how are we going to get under this rock where Fielding's magma is?
05:54No problem, Molto.
05:56I brought along your portable particleizer.
05:59Just in case.
06:05Look!
06:06There's Fielding's magma!
06:09Oh!
06:10Oh!
06:11Molto, it looks like the magma is getting more active.
06:15What does that mean?
06:16It means that Fielding might be getting ready to erupt.
06:19Everybody out!
06:25Oh!
06:27Oh!
06:30Oh!
06:32Oh!
06:33Oh!
06:34Oh!
06:35Oh!
06:36Oh!
06:38Oh!
06:39I'm fine!
06:40I'm fine!
06:41Fielding is active inside, but he isn't erupting!
06:44Why not?
06:45I don't know, but we've got to find out what its problem is, and soon!
06:49The rumbling we heard, along with the active bubbling magma, are warning signs of a major eruption!
06:56The longer Fielding goes without erupting, the longer fielding goes without erupting, the more powerful and damaging his eruption could
07:02be to the area around him!
07:05Hmm...
07:06I wonder...
07:07Maybe he isn't sick.
07:09Maybe he's keeping himself from erupting.
07:12Boola?
07:13Boola?
07:14Volcanoes simply don't do that!
07:16Boola?
07:17Boola?
07:18Boola?
07:18Fielding says he's fine!
07:19Well, maybe he's just not ready to talk about what's bothering him.
07:23Maybe his neighbors know something!
07:27Excuse me, madam?
07:29May we ask you a few questions about your neighbor fielding?
07:32You know, I've been wondering what's been going on with him!
07:36Whoa!
07:36All that rumbling and carrying on!
07:40And you should see the smoke and dust coming out of him!
07:44My word!
07:46That's not good!
07:50I may like to rock and roll, but when those volcano dudes rock, they rock everything around them!
07:56We don't need that kind of party!
07:59Oh my!
08:00Poor Fielding!
08:03We prefer things nice and quiet!
08:07Yes!
08:08And that volcano's got anger management issues that could cause some real harm!
08:13He's simply not our kind of volcano!
08:16Oh dear!
08:19Gee!
08:19None of Fielding's neighbors seem to like him!
08:25I know this sounds odd, but maybe Fielding won't erupt because he's afraid that if he doesn't...
08:31his neighbors will like him even less!
08:34Hmm...
08:35Pula has a point!
08:36How do we get Fielding's neighbors to like him?
08:39Maybe we need to help Fielding like himself first!
08:42That's it!
08:43We'll help him remember how great it is to be a volcano!
08:48Me?
08:49Why do you want to know about me?
08:51Well, uh...
08:53I've never been a volcano, and I wondered what it must be like.
08:58I'll bet it was a lot of fun growing up!
09:00Oh, it was!
09:02It was!
09:03I remember it all like it was just 60 million years ago!
09:07Back when I was just a little hole, forming around a crack under the sea!
09:16Oh, then, when I was a teenager, it seemed like all I did was grow!
09:22I made some nice land!
09:25I created soil that was good for plants and trees to grow in!
09:30And animals came to live around all those plants and trees!
09:33I played a big part in giving everyone in Volcano Valley a better life!
09:40And then, I entered my artistic building phase!
09:43I made all kinds of beautiful rocks and mountains!
09:46And I wasn't the only talented volcano in my family!
09:51On Earth, my Aunt Tilly is an extinct volcano!
09:54But she's really enjoying her retirement as Oregon's Crater Lake!
09:59And Uncle Wilbat, a dormant volcano, is now Mount Hood, the highest mountain in Oregon!
10:05Then there's Great Grandpa Olympus!
10:09What a character!
10:11He became the biggest inactive volcano on Mars!
10:15Gee, volcanoes really have done a lot of good things!
10:21I wish I could erupt! Maybe I wouldn't be so crabby all the time if I did!
10:27Gee, Mom and Dad, you never told us we were made from a volcano!
10:32Uh, well, yes, son. Mostly on your mother's side.
10:35Hurry!
10:37Awesome! We're part volcano! How cool is that?
10:43Fielding rocks!
10:45Zula Patrol! Neighbors!
10:48I'm here to say that I'm a volcano!
10:51And that's okay!
10:53And it's thanks to your help that I can finally...
11:06...orrupt!
11:08That feels so much better!
11:11Well, it looks like I was wrong! Fielding does have feelings!
11:16So, I guess you could say, volcanoes are lava-ble!
11:22Get it? Lava-
11:25Oh, I get it! Lava-ble!
11:28Because volcanoes have lava, so they're lava-ble!
11:35I thought it was funny!
11:41Hello there, science seekers! It's time for our Malto moment!
11:47Can someone tell me what this is?
11:50A mountain with the hiccups!
11:52No way! It's a volcano!
11:55It's a mountain or a hill, formed around a crack in the Earth's crust.
11:59Not all mountains are volcanoes, but the ones that are don't hiccup, they erupt!
12:04Do you know what the hot material inside the volcano is called?
12:09Eduardo!
12:12Nope! Magma! And when it comes out, it has a new name!
12:17Surely?
12:18No! It's called lava!
12:21Right! We used to call it that hot red gooey stuff that comes out of a volcano!
12:26But by the time we finished saying it, it was too late to run!
12:32Until next time, science seekers!
