Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust through which molten rock,
gas, and other materials are released from deep within the Earth.

Volcanoes are formed when molten rock

called magma rises to the surface. The
magma can come from the Earth's
mantle or from subduction zones where
one tectonic plate slides beneath another.

How do volcanoes
erupt?
Molten rock below the surface of the Earth that
rises in volcanic vents is known as magma, but
after it erupts from a volcano it is called lava.
Magma is made of molten rock, crystals, and
dissolved gas—imagine an unopened bottle of
soda with grains of sand inside. The molten rock is
made of the chemicals oxygen, silicon, aluminum,
iron, magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium,
titanium, and manganese. After cooling, liquid
magma may form crystals of various minerals until
Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava,
and rock that are powerfully destructive. People
have died from volcanic blasts. Volcanic eruptions
can result in additional threats to health, such as
floods, mudslides, power outages, drinking water
contamination, and wildfires. Health concerns after
a volcanic eruption include infectious disease,
respiratory illness, burns, injuries from falls, and
vehicle accidents related to the slippery, hazy

Imagine that you and your family live in a
community situated near an active volcano.
Recently, there have been signs of increased
volcanic activity, and the local authorities have
issued warnings. You need to make preparedness
plan decisions to ensure the safety of your
