2. What is a volcano
● A volcano is a mountain. Most of the time, it looks
like any other mountain, but sometimes it shoots gas,
ash and burning rock.
● This is called an eruption.
● The word volcano comes from the name Vulcan.
Vulcan was the Roman god of fire.
3. INSIDE A VOLCANO
● Inside every volcano there is a deep hole. It goes deep
down inside the Earth. It is so hot there that some of
the rocks melts.
● This hot, runny rock is called magma. Sometimes it
comes up the hole in the volcano, pushes out the top
and makes a big hole called a crater. The hot rock
that comes out is called lava.
● The lava runs downhill, cools and becomes hard.
Every time the volcano erupts, a new layer of lava
comes out. The layers make a cone.
