Q

How is a volcano formed ?

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