Volcanoes - how are they formed, why do they erupt and why are they dangerous and useful? Son of Vulcan in ancient Roman mythology

A truly amazing sight is a volcanic eruption. But what is a volcano? How does a volcano erupt? Why do some of them spew huge lava flows at different intervals, while others sleep peacefully for centuries?

What is a volcano?

Outwardly, the volcano resembles a mountain. There is a geological fault inside it. In science, it is customary to call a volcano a formation of geological rock located on the surface of the earth. Through it, magma erupts outward, which is very hot. It is magma that subsequently forms volcanic gases and stones, as well as lava. Most of the volcanoes on earth formed several centuries ago. Today, new volcanoes occasionally appear on the planet. But this happens much less often than before.

How are volcanoes formed?

Briefly explaining the essence of the formation of a volcano, it will look like this. Under the earth's crust is a special layer under strong pressure, consisting of molten rocks, and it is called magma. If cracks suddenly begin to appear in the earth's crust, then hills form on the surface of the earth. Magma comes out through them under strong pressure. At the surface of the earth, it begins to disintegrate into red-hot lava, which then solidifies, causing the volcanic mountain to become larger and larger. The emerging volcano becomes such a vulnerable spot on the surface that it erupts volcanic gases onto the surface with great frequency.

What is a volcano made of?

In order to understand how magma erupts, you need to know what the volcano consists of. Its main components are: volcanic chamber, vent and craters. What is the focus of a volcano? This is where magma forms. But not everyone knows what the mouth and crater of a volcano are? A vent is a special channel that connects the hearth with the surface of the earth. A crater is a small bowl-shaped depression on the surface of a volcano. Its size can reach several kilometers.

What is a volcanic eruption?

Magma is constantly under strong pressure. Therefore, there is a cloud of gases above it at any time. Gradually, they push the red-hot magma to the surface of the earth through the mouth of the volcano. That's what causes the eruption. However, one small description of the eruption process is not enough. To see this spectacle, you can use the video, which you need to watch after you have learned what the volcano consists of. In the same way, in the video you can find out which volcanoes do not exist at the present time and what volcanoes that are active today look like.

Why are volcanoes dangerous?

Active volcanoes are dangerous for a number of reasons. By itself, a dormant volcano is very dangerous. He can “wake up” at any time and start spewing lava flows that spread over many kilometers. Therefore, you should not settle near such volcanoes. If an erupting volcano is located on the island, such a dangerous phenomenon as tsunami may occur.

Despite their danger, volcanoes can serve mankind well.

Why are volcanoes useful?

  • During the eruption, a large number of metals appear that can be used in industry.
  • The volcano generates the strongest rocks that can be used for construction.
  • Pumice, which appears as a result of the eruption, is used for industrial purposes, as well as in the production of stationery gum and toothpaste.
