Solve Question based on paragraph from Q 38 to Q 45

Read the passage and answer questions 38 to 45.

Volcanoes are like holes on the Earth’s surface. All volcanoes spit out lava, rocks, gas and ash which
surround the land. This ejection of volcanic materials is called a volcanic eruption and takes place below
the Earth’s surface.
There are five main parts of a volcano including, the magma chamber, main vent, crater, cone and small
vents. The magma chamber is a large space where lava is stored. Connected to it is the main vent which is
long and wide like a tube. On top of it is the crater which is moderately curved like a bowl. Another part of
the volcano is the cone which is a large, dome-shaped mount. Lastly, there are the small vents, which are
small and thin.
Just before the eruption, hot molten rock from the mantle rises to the earth’s surface. As a result of
extreme pressure within the Earth, the magma rises to the surface of the earth.
Due to the gas bubbles, which grow larger and larger, the magma finds the narrow vent, and spurts out.
This culminates in magma which loses bubbles and turns into lava that flows away from the vent.
Consequently, exposure to the atmosphere causes the lava to change colour from white to yellow, to
orange to red. Eventually the lava turns black. It is now called basalt.

a) extreme
b) culminates

d) exposure
