    Volcanoes form when magma rises from below the Earth's surface and erupts as lava. An erupting volcano can trigger dangerous events like tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mudflows and rockfalls. Key volcanic features include ash, lava, craters, and magma chambers connected to the surface by vents. Volcanic islands are often formed as tectonic plates slowly move over underground hot spots, creating chains of volcanoes like Hawaii and Samoa over time.
