    VOLCANO

    Volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface through which lava, hot gases and
    rock fragments erupt. Such an opening forms when melted rock from deep within
    the Earth blasts through the surface. Most volcanoes are mountains, cone-shaped
    ones, which were built up around the opening by lava and other materials.
    Eruptions of volcanic mountains are spectacular sights. In some eruptions, huge
    fiery clouds rise over the mountain and glowing rivers of lava flow down its sides.
    In other eruptions red-hot ash and cinders shoot out the mountaintop, and large
    chunks of hot rock are blasted high into the air. A few eruptions are so violent that
    thy blow the mountain apart.
    People have always been both fascinated by the spectacle of volcanic eruptions and
    terrified of their power.
    Eruptions have caused some of the worst disasters in history, wiping out entire
    towns and killing thousands of people.
    In early times, volcanoes played a role in the religious life of some people.The
