Formation of volcanoes

Before a volcano become a volcano, there are so many stages it need to accomplish. it have a formation before being an actual volcano.

- Magma rises through cracks or weaknesses in the Earth's crust.

- Pressure builds up inside the Earth.

- When this pressure is released, eg as a result of plate movement, magma explodes to the surface causing a volcanic eruption.

- The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust.

- Over time, after several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms
