A volcano is a burning mountain with a great hole running deep into the earth. Out of it
come smoke, gases and stones. The mouth of the opening is called the crater of the volcano.
Volcanoes are not always burning. Sometimes a volcano will remain quiet for centuries. And
then it will suddenly become active. This is called volcanic eruption. When the eruption
takes place, great clouds of ashes, dust, gas and steam rise from the crater. Loud noises
come from the crater. After sometime, white hot molten rock, called lava begins to flow
down the mountain sides. This may go on for days or weeks. Then the volcano will ‘go to
sleep’ again for many years. Most volcanoes are found near the seas.
