Why do Volcanoes erupt? A volcano is a mountain that opens
... A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. The large masses build up over time through eruptions in the earth’s upper mantle. They look like large mountains but are far more dangerous. .How are volcanoes formed? Volcanoes are formed when magm ...

Geomorphology
Geomorphology (from Greek: γῆ, ge, ""earth""; μορφή, morfé, ""form""; and λόγος, logos, ""study"") is the scientific study of the origin and evolution of topographic and bathymetric features created by physical or chemical processes operating at or near the earth's surface. Geomorphologists seek to understand why landscapes look the way they do, to understand landform history and dynamics and to predict changes through a combination of field observations, physical experiments and numerical modeling. Geomorphology is practiced within physical geography, geology, geodesy, engineering geology, archaeology and geotechnical engineering. This broad base of interests contributes to many research styles and interests within the field.
