    Volcanoes
    Volcanoes are mountains that open in

    They are usually located where tectonic

    plates meet. This can be in a variety of locations like the ocean floor, under icecaps, and even on other planets!
    Volcanoes can vary in size and shape.

    While most of them have a cone shape and look like a mountain, others have cracks, plateaus, and a dome shape.

    Volcano Terms

    Earth. It is light enough to rise up through cracks in Earths crust.


    Lava is magma after it has erupted. Lava, ash,

    and gas can come out of an erupting volcano.


    When a volcano is active, that means that it

    erupts regularly.

    erupted in the past but does not erupt anymore.
