Q
How is a volcano formed ?
A
- Magma can rise up from a magma chamber in the Earth’s crust through a vent.
- Magma that reaches the surface is called Lava
- When the volcano erupts, a large ash cloud is formed.
- As more eruptions happen, layers of ash and lava build up forming a cone shape.
- The lava continues to flow from a crater at the top of the volcano
