What causes volcanic eruptions and how they form

The text explains that magma and gases push through the Earth's surface causing violent explosions or lava flows. Radioactive decay heats rocks, forming molten rock with pressurized gases. These gases collect in underground chambers, increasing pressure until magma rises to the surface. There are over 500 active volcanoes on land worldwide.

Volcanoes and their destructive power explained

Volcanoes cause massive damage including loss of life and habitat. Lava can reach above 2000 degrees Fahrenheit while explosive eruptions eject heavy rocks or bombs. Ash clouds may drift globally and disrupt climate. Mudflows and fast lava flows threaten nearby towns and ecosystems.
