    The World With Us Explore: What Is Volcano?

    Uploaded by

    Jane Bautista
    Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust through which molten rock and hot gases erupt. They often form mountains from repeated eruptions building up layers of rock and ash. Volcanic eruptions release lava and gases from the volcano, sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type is a glowing avalanche where freshly erupted magma flows quickly down the volcano's sides at very high temperatures. People are advised to evacuate immediately if an eruption occurs and stay away from ashfall areas to avoid health issues from ash inhalation and contact.
