Volcanoes and Geysers
Volcanoes are a type of mountain or hill full of lava. There are some type's of volcanoes for example: mountain volcanoes and underground volcanoes.An active volcanoe in italy is called, "Mount vesuvius."
A Geyser is a hot spring in which water boils, sending a tall column of water and steam into the air.

the most Beautiful sights of an volcano is YellowStone National Park.
There are many animals and wildlife also, there are many geysers over there. Yellowstone volcano has a beautiful colours everywhere.

There are four major types of volcanoes: cinder cone, composite, shield, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes are the most common type of volcanoes and often have symmetrical steep slopes. Classic examples include Mount Rainier in Washington State and Mount Fuji in Japan
In some volcanic areas such as Iceland, heat energy from magma can be used to warm water and run power plants. This type of energy is called geothermal (earth heat) energy.
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming sits on the site of an ancient supervolcano. It erupted around 2 million years ago, 1.3 million years ago, and 640,000 years ago. If it follows the same pattern, another eruption is due any time now.
During the past 400 years, nearly a quarter of a million people have been killed as a direct result of volcanic eruptions. Indirect aftereffects such as famine, climate change, and disease most likely have tripled that number.
While no other planet besides Earth shows active volcanoes, Io, one of Jupiter’s moons, shows volcanoes that are erupting.
Geysers
There are only around one thousand active geysers in the world.
Almost all of the geysers in the world are located in just 5 countries.
.
United states-Yellowstone National Park
Chile – El Tatio
Iceland – Many different locations
Russia – Dolina Geiserov
New Zealand – Taupo Volcanic Zone
DID YOU KNOW?
The tallest active Geyser in Yellowstone National Park is called''Steamboat Geyser.''
Iceland is home to some of the most famous geysers in the world. Geysers and hot springs are distributed all over the country. The Haukadalur geyser field is home to the famous Great Geyser, which still erupts, but very rarely. The nearby Strokkur geyser erupts every 5–8 minutes to a height of around 30 m (98 ft).
Geysers don't last forever. If conditions change they can go dormant or become extinct. Geysers have been ruined by people throwing litter and debris into them.
Geothermal power plants have been known to reduce the water content and destroy Geysers are formed by water seeping through the ground and coming into contact with rock heated by magma at relatively shallow depths in volcanic areas nearby geysers.
lava!!
Lava comes from any volcanoes; Including underground volcanoes and funnel volcanoes.
Lava is so hot that it can go up to 1,200 Degrees.
Orange lava is way hotter than red lava.
