Cut-out 3D model of Bardon Hill Quarry Provided by British Geological Survey Classroom activity Description:A simple schematic model of Bardon Hill Quarry from the British Geological Survey showing how the rocks formed from a volcano similar to the modern-day Soufrière Hills volcano, Montserrat in the West Indies. This model is intended to aid understanding of where such volcanoes form and how volcanic rocks can be important natural resources for construction. Volcanic rocks from Bardon Hill Quarry are extracted, crushed and used for building schools, roads and houses. The volcano that deposited the Bardon Hill rocks would have been much larger than the diameter of the quarry.
Requires scissors and glue.
