  4. Volcanoes • Volcanoes are mountains that are built from eruptions. • Under pressure , the magma rises and burns through the crust in spots called vents.

  5. vOLCANOES • All volcanoes release gases during eruption. • The speed of these flows can reach 120 miles per hour. • Bombs are large blobs of lava that harden as they spin.

  6. Ocean floor • Most volcanoes on the ocean floor do not rise above the surface. • The largest volcanoes are above hot-spots. • The hot spot can create another volcanoes.

  7. Types of volcanoes • Mount Fuji in in japan and Mount Shasta are stratovolcanoes. • Cinder cones are another common type of volcano.

  8. Shield volcanoes • Mauna Loa’s base is 60 miles long and 30 miles wide. • The island of Hawii is the world’s largest volcano.

  16. conclusion • Scientists help reveal the secrets of volcanoes , providing clues to their inner workings. • Some volcanoes refuse to give up all their secrets.
