The document provides information about different types of volcanoes and examples of specific volcanoes. It describes how volcanoes form from magma underground and can erupt, shooting out gas, ash and rock. It defines three types of volcanoes - active volcanoes that can still erupt like Kilauea in Hawaii, dormant volcanoes that are currently sleeping like Mount Fuji in Japan, and extinct volcanoes that can no longer erupt like Anatahan island in the Pacific. Examples of famous volcanic eruptions are provided, including Vesuvius that destroyed Pompeii in 79 AD and Krakatoa's massive eruption and tsunamis in 1883 that killed over 36,000 people.

2. A volcano is a mountain. Most of the time, it
looks like any other mountain, but sometimes it
shoots out gas, ash and burning rock. This is
called an eruption.

3. Inside every volcano there is a deep hole. It goes
deep down inside the earth, it so hot there that
some of the rocks melts.
This hot, runny rock is called magma.

4. 1- An active volcano erupted and can erupt
again. Kilauea is an active volcano in Hawaii.
This volcano is more active than any other
volcano in the world.
2- A dormant volcano is sleeping. Mount Fuji in
Japan is dormant at the moment.
3- An extinct volcano can´t erupt again.
Anatahan is an island in the Pacific Ocean.

5. The Galapagos islands are volcanic
islands. They are near the coast of
Ecuador. There are 13 big islands
and 6 smaller islands. There are still
eruptions in the Galpagos islands.
The underwater
volcanoes can
grow so big that
islands form.

6. Vesuvius is an excint volcano in Italy.It is a
very famous volcano because there was
a terrible eruption in 79 A.D.
One afternoon the people from Pompeii heard a loud noise.
They looked up and saw a cloud of ash.

some old ruins.
They were the ruins of Pompeii.
They found streets, shops and fine houses.
