🌋 A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s surface from which magma, gas, and ash can erupt and escape.
Lava can reach temperatures as hot as 1,250℃. Lava may spurt up if there is pressure or simply flow out of the vent. The hotter and thinner the lava, the farther it will flow. When it stops flowing, it hardens into a rock called igneous rock.
