D. Read The Text Then Answer The Question Below
Fire from inside the earth Imagine a bottle of cola.
What happens when you shake the bottle and open it? The drink will explode
out of the bottle. This is because the bubbles in the drink are made of gas.
When you shake the bottle, there is more pressure. When you open the bottle,
the gas comes out very fast. The same thing happens when a volcano erupts.
The earth is very hot under the surface. Its so hot that the rock is liquid. This
liquid rock is called magma. The temperature of magma is very high, between
700C and 1300C. Magma forms big caves inside the earth. They are called
chambers. When pieces of rock fall into the magma they make gas. When the
pressure of the gas is very high, the gas and the magma leave the earth
through a hole. The hole is called the crater. We often see ash clouds coming
out from the crater before an eruption. When magma comes out of the earth,
its called lava. When lava gets cold, it becomes stone.
