Document Summary
The northern pocket gopher, a tiny burrowing animal, was the first animal to be discovered in the area after eruption. After the eruption, scientists noticed that the crack in the centre of the crater was getting larger. Further, a dome emerged from the middle of the crater floor, oozing a sticky gray lava that cooled as it reached the surface. Scientists did not know whether the dome was about to blow up or building its summit. Cracks were getting larger. o: describe the relationship between bacteria and the lupine plant. The prairie lupus was found flourishing in an area near the crater where everything had been extinguished. The lupine has a special root structure where the plant and bacterium possess a symbiotic relationship. The bacterium provides the plant with nitrogen used for photosynthesis, and in return, the plant provides the bacterium with simple sugars.
