VOLCANO
A volcano allows hot lava and smoke to leave from
a magma chamber below the surface of the Earth.
Volcanoes are generally found at different places
on Earth. For example, in the oceans, Volcanoes
can also form where there is stretching and
thinning of the crust. For example the Hawaii was
created from magma 3,000 km deep in the Earth.
Erupting volcanoes have many dangers not only
near the eruption. One such danger is that volcanic
ash can be a threat to aircraft. Also, large eruptions
can affect temperature and cool the Earth's
atmosphere
The most people think that volcanoes are
like tall mountains; however, this
describes just one of the many types of
volcano. The features of volcanoes are
much more complicated and their
structure and behavior depends on a
number of factors. Some volcanoes have
peaks formed by lava while others are
flat.
As of 2013, the following are considered
Earth's most active volcanoes:
Kīlauea,
the famous Hawaiian volcano since
1983, and has the longest-observed lava lake
•Mount
Etna and nearby Stromboli two
Mediterranean volcanoes in "almost
continuous eruption since ancient times.

Scientists usually consider a volcano to be
active if it is erupting or likely to erupt

sea.
