Volcano 

Volcanoes are geological formations that are created when molten rock, ash, and gas escape from the Earth’s crust. They are formed at the boundaries of tectonic plates, where magma rises from deep within the Earth and creates pressure that causes volcanic eruptions.

Volcanoes can be both destructive and beneficial. They can cause devastating natural disasters, such as volcanic eruptions, landslides, and tsunamis, but they can also create new land and fertile soil. Volcanoes have played an important role in shaping the Earth’s landscape and have been revered and feared by people throughout history. Today, scientists continue to study volcanoes to better understand their behavior and to develop strategies for predicting and mitigating the risks associated with their eruptions.
