How does a volcano erupt?

Answer 1

A volcano erupts when pressure on the magma chamber causes the magma to rise and come out together with gas, rocks and ashes. The violence of an eruption depends on how much pressure the volcano is under before it erupts.

Volcanoes are caused to erupt when the inner core of the earth holds more pressure or heat inside it. Volcanoes are the outside source of releasing the lava and magma that the earth has inside it. When a volcano erupts it means that the earth is releasing a large amount of pressure from within.

Magma is continuously supplied from the mantle of the Earth. Shield volcanoes usually have a gentle eruption, as it contains basic lava. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes usually have a violent eruption as it contains acidic lava. The vent of the volcano might also be blocked, causing the magma to force its way out, thus causing a huge explosion.

In a more specific way, volcanoes erupt when rock releases pressure.

Answer 2

Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. As the magma rises, bubbles of gas form inside it. Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth’s crust before flowing onto its surface as lava. If magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up as the magma rises. Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface.

Answer 3

It shoots out a column of magma underground and it becomes lava overground
