Plan I. The structure of volcanoes and their

formation

II. Types of volcans

III. The impacts of volcanoes

Conclusion
Volcanoes are terrestrial or underwater geological structures that take
the form of openings or fissures, formed by the ejection and
deposition of magma, ash, and gases

This is the channel (or

which magma travels to
reach the Earth's surface

 I. The structure of volcanoes and their formation
Volcanoes are not randomly distributed on the planet's surface, they are
linked either to the divergence of continental or oceanic plates, or to their
convergence, or by the activity of a "hot spot. These interactions between
lithospheric plates lead to the formation of mountain ranges.

 II. Types of volcanoes
 Effusive Eruption
An effusive eruption is a
type of volcanic eruption
characterized by:
• the emission of fluid lava
that slowly flows from the
volcano, creating lava
flows.
• These eruptions are
generally less explosive
and less dangerous than
explosive eruptions. 5

 Explosive Eruption
An explosive eruption is a
type of volcanic eruption
characterized by
• a sudden and violent
release of gas, ash and
molten rock from the
volcano, creating
explosions and ash clouds.
• These eruptions are
generally more destructive
and dangerous than

 Conclusion

There are several types of volcanoes spread around the world, and their
eruptions can lead to positive and negative results, but volcanoes have a
major impact on the Earth and on human history. “If it were not for
volcanoes, life might not have been born,” Harun Taziev said. (1964).
