For this volcanic and intense environment shows the representation that Felix desires and the contribution of passion to his people. Felix displays the characteristics of hunger, supremacy and pride to his people and also to those that try and cross him. Felix’s environment will be exposed to the difficulties of constant heat and rivers of lava. This would be due to symbolise the intense nature of Felix and the only way he knows how to live under these conditions and not with cold and frozen areas.

The influences for this project where from the largest volcano on Earth is Hawaii's Mauna Loa. Quite interesting with this statistic with the largest possible volcano on the planet mars as it could justify that Felix’s environment could be placed on an area in the universe not just Earth.

The particular part for the volcano that must be placed the greatest piece of attention is that of the volcano itself and how it would be made up plus the materials that are going to be incorporated into it. There are three different kinds of volcanic material: lava, rock fragments, and gas. There are also properties of lava and kinds of lava. Lava is molten which means melted to liquid. The lava comes out of the volcano. In the center of Earth a core is the source of the rock melting. Lands that had lava on it are now fertile. The reason for this is that lava breaks up the ground. Lavas called Perlite can be heated in furnaces. They can be made into light concrete.

Basalt was chosen to be the most suitable material for the volcano as it has the largest occurrences of basalt are in the ocean floor and volcanic areas and also that is almost completely made up by basalt. Over the sea level basalt is common in hotspot islands and around volcanic arcs, especially those on thin crust. However, the largest volumes of basalt on land correspond to continental flood basalts. However in terms of weathering and the degrading of the basalt; basalts weather relatively fast. Chemical weathering of basalt minerals release, cations such as calcium, sodium and magnesium, which give basaltic areas a strong buffer capacity against acidification.
