Another attraction in the ongoing NSTW 2015 of the DOST is a mock-up model of a volcano at the PHIVOLCS booth.  The mock-up is presented in dissected form showing the different parts of a volcano which include the magma, crust and others.

NSTW features other interactive exhibits, scale models, other disaster preparedness tools, and fora on science and technology. More booths include science and technology tools and initiatives for agriculture, industry, small and medium enterprises, information and communications technology, e-government and connectivity, health, and education.
