How are volcanoes formed?

 

 

 

 

Volcanoes are natural phenomenon that occurs everywhere, but some places are more prone than the others. The molten rock and gas in the mantle called magma pushes its way upwards and pours to the surface through cracks in the crust. This is a volcano. There are different types of volcanoes; some are explosive others are not, and all erupt as spectacularly as we see on the television. Some eruptions take place unexpectedly, but others can be predicted, which is very important for the people living near a volcano.
