Why are there brown leaves?

When we went to Poas on a field trip. We saw plants that where brown because of the acid it was killing the plants. when the volcano erupts and throws vapors that fall like acid rain and kills plants. Thats why there’s a very famous color brown found on some plants.

When we were walking at Poas Volcano we saw many things. First off all, it was very cold and rainy. When we were walking in the cloud forest we saw a squirrel called green and yellow squirrel. It was so cute. We also saw a plant called the Poorman's Umbrella, it is named that way because it is shaped like an umbrella and poor people use it to cover themselves from the rain. We saw another plant called puas which means spine in Spanish,the volcano was named after this spiky plant because it sound just like Poas and because of the great quanity there is in the area of the volcano. When we passed the cloud forest we found a guide. He showed us some other plants and we got to the main crater. The guide started explaining things to some of us, meanwhile the rest were on a little look out view point, but it was so cloudy that all you could see was like a white wall. As you see there were not very good moments, but sometimes it could be very fun like when Lauren was walking on wet wood and she slipped and fell flat on the ground. Or when Nathalie was scared she would fall in the crater when the only thing she could see of it was white. Well, after that the guide showed us a geocache that was put into the volcano. We also saw different rock layers.There was a hole on a rock were a animal lived. It was very interesting because the animal made the hole. It was kinda perfect but it was so weird. Later,I smashed the rock it was so soft that it left a mark. I saw a little bit of volcanic ash, too. We had a great time at Poas! by Nicky
















Layers of Ash from Poas

The layers on the rocks.

Next to the crater, next to me, 4th grade saw …Layers on a giant rock!!!

One of the layers we saw was made of ash. Can you believe it!? I think that one of the layers was red lava, and another one is/was lava covered by ash, maybe because it was gray rock.
