    The document discusses volcanoes, including their formation, typical locations, main types, how eruptions can be destructive, and instruments used to study them. Volcanoes form when hot liquefied rock located deep below the Earth's surface, called magma, rises to the surface through openings in the Earth's crust. The three main types of volcanoes are shield, cinder cone, and composite volcanoes.
