In this section, you will learn interesting facts about volcanoes as well as unbelievable photos !
A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object such as Earth, that allow hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface
Volcanoes are fascinating and terrifying. They spew lava, rock poisonous gases ans ash with great power. Lava is much, much hotter than any oven, over 2000 degrees Fahrenheit.
As it pours out the earth, it can burn anything in its path. Poisounous gases and ash can cause serious illness or death.
The volcanoes are often found at meeting points of what are called "tectonic plates". These plates are pieces of Earth's surface that fit together just like a jigsaw puzzle.
