🌋How volcanoes work🌋

Do you ever wonder how volcanoes work? Well, I am going to explain to you how they work.

How volcanoes work

When magma rises bubbles of gas from inside it. Runny magma erupts through openings causing events in the earth crust before flowing onto its surface as lava. Then rock called magma rises to the surface.

How they form

Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the earth upper mantle works its way to the surface. When volcanoes erupt they emit a mixture of gases and particles into the air. Some of them such as sulfur and dioxide have a cooling effect.

Why is it hot

Pressure and radiogenic heating make it very hot deep in the earth where rocks melt to make magma. The rock around the magma is a good insulator so the magma doesn't lose much heat on the way to the surface.

Now you know how volcanoes work. they have a lot of poisonous gases and deadly lava so beware of volcanoes and their terrifying lava especially when you live by one.

Thank you
