 Eruption

In 1883 , in Indonesia, a volcano

called krakatoa erupted at first.
 The life of a volcano
• The inside of the earth is hot, and some of the solid
rocks melt to form hot liquid rock called magma.
• Eventually magma ,gases and ash break through a hole
in the earth’s surface.
• Plate tectonics theory explains how volcanoes form.

 Underwater volcanoes
• There are flat plains, mountain ridges,
canyons and trenches in the ocean floor.
There are more volcanoes under the
ocean than on land.
 Living with volcanoes

The minerals and chemicals in the

lava and ash make soil fertile so it’s
good for farming . Lava produce
electricity.
 Volcanologists

They study volcanoes in different

ways. They study rocks and ash from
long ago. Because of this, people
who live near volcanoes can plan
what to do.
