Volcanoes

Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that allow magma, gases, and ash to escape, forming at tectonic plate boundaries or hotspots. Eruptions can be either explosive or effusive based on the magma's characteristics. Notable volcanoes include Mount Vesuvius, Mount St. Helens, and Mauna Loa, and they can create new landforms and influence global climate.
