  1. Volcanoes By Jake Caudill

  2. What Are They? • A volcano is a opening in Earth’s surface. • Sometimes they look like mountains and sometimes they are flat and low. • When they erupt they send hot lava and rocks.

  3. What Causes Them? • When pressure builds up inside the Earth it’s pushed to the surface. • The lava is pushed out the volcano and into the open world. • When it reaches the surface it’s called lava and then it starts to floes down the volcano.

  4. Volcano Damage • When volcanos erupt ash and dust fill the air. • The ash and dust cover everything for miles around the volcano. • Sometimes volcanos can cause earthquakes or landslides.

  5. Were Are They? • A lot of volcanos are near the Pacific Ocean. • When they are like this they are called The Ring of Fire. • Some times volcanos are at the bottom of the ocean.

  6. Studying Volcanoes • Some scientists study and watch volcanos. • They measure volcano activity. • They try to predict when they’re going to erupt.
