Volcanoes!! 🌋

For today's post, we are going to look at Volcanoes 🌋. The last post, that I had posted was about the Ring of Fire. To know more information about volcanoes, watch this video about Volcanoes from National Geographic.

In the video, it includes information about my posts about,

• What's Inside Earth?
• Plate Tectonics
• Ring of Fire

Here I'm going to post about how Volcanoes form. I found a video from my Plate Tectonics blog post of how volcanoes explode. By the video from National Geographic, there is information about how Volcanoes explode if you haven't seen it.

Volcanoes form from rising magma. Magma rises in three ways.

Have you seen someone so close to a volcano? Here is a spectacular volcano video | National Geographic. They have used drones to look from above the volcano. Watch this!!

This video was recorded at Marum Crater, Ambrym Island in Vanuatu. Which 1,334-metre active volcano.



Now here's another video about an active volcano in Hawaii. This video is also from National Geographic. Watch this!!
