VOLCANOES
INTRODUCTION 
Volcanoes are caused when molten rock (magma) 
flows out onto the earth’s surface through fissures 
that are caused due to the movement of plates.
Volcanoes 
 The rocks and other material which come on to the 
surface of the earth from the interior of the earth 
accumulates to develop volcanic mountains. 
 Some volcanoes erupt the lava out with a great 
explosion and some others, silently.
VENT 
The fissures, through which the magma comes out 
from the aesthenosphere on to the crust of the earth 
is known as the vent. 
CRATER 
The funnel shaped depression that can be seen on 
the summit of a volcano is known as a crater.
Different types of volcanoes 
Based on the chances of eruption the volcanoes are 
classified into three. 
Active volcanoes 
Extinct volcanoes 
Dormant volcanoes
Active Volcano 
•Those that frequently erupt. 
•E.g. Mount Etna in Italy 
Extinct Volcano 
•Active at a time, but will not erupt again. 
•E.g. Kilimanjaro in Africa 
Dormant Volcano 
•Those that have erupted earlier and not active in the 
recent past but can become active. 
•E.g. Vesuvius in Italy
Conclusion 
Volcanoes are helpful in many ways. 
Though volcanic eruptions are threats to human life, 
the areas where the eruptions have taken place are 
useful too. 
These areas are rich in minerals. 
The black soil that formed as a result of a volcanic 
eruption is very suitable for cotton cultivation.
