Come study Geology,
at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. We have outstanding professors and students, a wonderful
climate,
and exciting lab demonstrations. The Mentos, when they go in,
all those little pits are places where the gas bubbles like to attach. So there's gas
dissolved in the soda,
there's also gas dissolved in the magma,
in the liquid rock underneath the Earth. With the volcanoes like we have, most of the time
the gas can come out pretty gently. The gas can't get out of that, it's all coming out
at one time. [explosion] [screams, laughter] You don't want to be anywhere near an exploding
volcano. Here at the University of Hawaii at Hilo,
we are close to active volcanoes that are relatively safe. We have excellent field
trips, and the weather is never boring. Come study Geology at UH Hilo, in paradise.
