A volcano is a landform, usually a mountain where molten rock erupt through the surface of the planet.
Did you know that...?
The name volcano has its origin from the name of Vulcan, a god of fire in roman mythology.
There are three different types of volcanoes:
- Active: eruptions can be anytime and often.
- Dormant: has been a while since it has erupted, but could at any time.
- Extinct: it hasn't erupted in a very long, long time so it probably won't ever again.
