    1. A volcano is a vent or chimney that connects molten rock from within the Earth's crust to the surface. It includes the surrounding cone of erupted material. 2. Volcanoes form when magma forces its way through cracks in the Earth's crust. The melted rock that spills from the crater is called lava. 3. Most volcanoes form on land but some form on the ocean floor and emerge from the water if they are very tall. A volcano erupts when magma and gases find a way to escape and burst through the vent.

    What is a volcano?

    vent

    • A volcano is a vent or
    'chimney' that connects molten
    cone rock (magma) from within the
    Earth’s crust to the Earth's
    surface.
    • The volcano includes the
    conduit surrounding cone of erupted
    material.

    magma
    chamber
    Volcanoes are often cone-shaped, but they can take other shapes
    too.
    They are formed when Molten, sticky rock called Magma, forces its way
    through a crack in the Earth’s Crust.

    The melted rock that spills out of the CRATER on the top of the
    volcano is called LAVA. The lava destroys everything in its path
    because it is very, very hot!
    Where do
    volcanoes
    happen?
    Most volcanoes are
    formed on land, but
    there are some
    volcanoes that are on
    the ocean floor. Some
    of these volcanoes
    emerge from the Why does a volcano erupt?
    water because they A volcano Erupts when magma and gases
    are very high. find a way to escape, so they burst to the
    surface through a Vent. An Eruption can be
    quite gentle or very violent.
    Types of volcano

    Volcanoes can be active, dormant or extinct.


    • A volcano is active, or alive, when it erupts often.

    • When a volcano is dormant, or sleeping, it has not


    erupted for a long time – but it might in the future.

    • A volcano is extinct, or dead, when it hasn’t erupted


    for at least 100,000 years.
    Eruption patterns
    There are three different levels of
    eruption:
    1. If it easy for the gases to
    escape, then the eruption is
    very gentle. However, the
    lava is very runny and can
    move very fast.

    2. Gas builds up and lumps of rock (‘Bombs’) and ash


    burst out of the volcano. This makes the lava thick
    and sticky.
    3. This is the fiercest
    eruption of all because the
    gases and magma become
    trapped inside the volcano.
    This causes a huge
    explosion, which can be
    big enough to remove the
    top of the whole
    mountain!
    Did you know?

    Mount Kilauea, in Hawaii, is the


    most active volcano on Earth
    because it has been erupting since
    1983!

    Pumice stone, which comes from volcanoes, is very light


    because it contains lot of tiny bubbles. If there are enough
    bubbles, then pumice stone can float on water!

    The word, ‘volcano’ comes from the name Vulcan, who was
    the Roman god of fire.
    GLOSSARY
    Bomb – a lump of rock thrown out in an eruption
    Creater – a deep hollow at the top of a volcano
    Crust – The top layer of the Earth
    Eruption – the release of gases, magma and rock from a volcano
    Lava – melted rock that flows down the volcano
    Magma – melted rock inside the Earth
    Molten – melted, liquid
    Vent – a crack on the side of a volcano where magma can escape
