How does a volcano erupt ?

A volcanic eruption is a devastating event that destroys land and claims many innocent lives. Due to this , buildings are burnt down and entire cities are wiped out .

In order to understand how a volcano erupts , you first need to understand the cataclysmic science behind it . Incredibly , the earth is made up of four layers : the inner core , outer core , Mantle and the crust .

u

The crust is the ground we live

and walk on when the two

tectonic plates push against

each other , eventually , one of the

plates is pushed down into the magma .

This causes , the magma to be pushed upwards . This then makes fill up the mountain , then... BOOOM! The lava comes blasting out .
