A volcano is an opening, or rupture, in a planet’s surface or crust, which allows hot magma,
volcanic ash and gases to escape from belom the surface.
Erupting volcanoes can pose mnay hazards, not only in the immediate vicinity of the eruption.
Large eruptions can affect temperature as ash and droplets of sulfuric acid obsure the sun and
cool the Earth’s lower atmosphere or tropospere; however, they also absorb heat radiated up
from the Earth, thereby warning the stratophere.
Volcanic features
The structur and behaviour of volcanoes depends on a number of factors. Some volcanoes have
rugged peaks formed by lava domes rather than a summit crater, whereas others present
landscape features such as massive plateaus.
