Volcanoes

Facts:

1. Did you know that volcanoes are caused by the tectonic plates breaking apart from underground
to let the magma through.
2. It is impossible to tell when volcanoes are about to erupt.
3. When the volcano erupts the magma changes temperature and turns into lava.
4. After it erupts the lava flows down and bit by bit it turns into solid rock.

Some popular volcanoes are:

Mt St Helens
Krakatoa
Dimand Head
Kilauea
