Invention of the Lava Pellets
John Pellet was a scientist who invented the Lava Pellets. These pellets are dropped from airplanes over volcanos that are erupting. The pellets harden and cool the lava quickly so that it lessens the time for it to cause damage. He had this idea after the earlier volcano eruption to protect the people in the future. -
