Volcanoes erupt because of intense heat and pressure deep inside the Earth 🌍. Beneath the Earth’s surface, there is molten rock called magma. This magma forms when rocks melt due to extremely high temperatures 🔥. As magma rises toward the surface, gases like steam, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide build up inside it 💨. When the pressure from these gases becomes too strong, it forces the magma out through cracks in the Earth’s crust 🪨. This powerful release causes a volcanic eruption, sending lava, ash, rocks, and gases into the air 🌋☁️. Some eruptions are slow and gentle, with lava flowing smoothly 🧡, while others are violent and explosive 💥. The type of eruption depends on the thickness of the magma and the amount of gas trapped inside it. Volcanoes are a natural part of Earth’s system and help shape the planet over millions of years 🌍⏳. https://youtu.be/nQBTAFYI-Ts
