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
