Best Answer

A volcano is formed when plates hit each other. One of the plates goes under the other. This is where the earth heats and melts the rock into magma and gases. This can happen as deep as 100 miles below the earth. Magma settles in pools or chambers near the surface. This is where eruptions take place. Volcanoes can also be formed when the plates go away from each other. The magma pushes up and lava forms. These types of volcanoes are found on the ocean floor.

Volcanoes are born by a volcanic liquid called magma. The liquid then pushes up earth's surface and the volcano swells. When it can't hold any more it EXPLODES!!!!
