Volcanic eruptions
A VOLCANO
Rocks That Lie Deep Inside The Earth Often Melt Due To High Temperatures.
They Are Called Magma
Sometimes This Molten Magma Erupts Through The Openings Or Cracks On Earth’s Surface Causing A Volcanic Eruption.
Molten Magma Which Erupts From Earth Is Called Lava
It Is Accompanied By Ash And Hot Gases.
The Opening Through Which Lava Is Pushed Up To The Surface Of Earth Is Called The Vent.
As The Lava Cools Down It Becomes Solid Rocks.
Gradually, As More Lava Comes Out And Cools, It Forms A Volcanic Mountain
Ring of Fire
Most Of The Volcanic Areas Of The World Lie Around The Edges Of The Pacific Ocean Called The Pacific Ring Of Fire.
Effects
Volcanoes can change the weather.
They Can Cause Rain, Thunder And Lightning.
Fast-Moving Lava Can Kill People And Falling Ash Can Make It Hard For Them To Breathe

Before you leave the house, change into long-sleeved shirts and long pants and use goggles or eyeglasses, not contacts. Wear an emergency mask or hold a damp cloth over your face
If You Are Not Evacuating, Close Windows And Doors And Block Chimneys And Other Vents, To Prevent Ash From Coming Into The House
