Introduction

Have you ever wondered how volcanoes are formed?

Opening Statement

A volcano is a vent or an opening on the earth's surface which allows molten rock called magma, volcanic ash and gas to escape out onto its surface.

Explanation 

Volcanoes are formed whenever there is a crack in the crust of the earth. A tube-like passage connects a chamber of magma (molten rock) at the center of the earth to the earth's crust.

When the pressure builds up in the chamber, the magma, gases, and ash are pushed up through to the top of the tube on the earth's surface known as a vent.

The red-hot magma that escapes flowing over the earth's surface is called lava which, when cools, forms into rocks.

Conclusion

In fact, the mountains we see today are nothing but solidified lava from previously erupted volcanoes.
