Volcanoes are places where the melted or molten part of the earth is squeezed out onto the surface. Some volcanoes are more gentle, and the lava, or molten rock, oozes out without exploding. Hawaiian volcanoes are this sort. Other volcanoes are very explosive, sometimes blowing off their entire tops in one huge eruption, like Mt. St. Helens in the US. Volcanoes build up into mountains because as the lava flows out, it hardens into rock. The more lava that comes out, the higher the rock pile!

∙ 8y agoMountains are only formed around volcanoes that erupt quite often this is because when a volcano erupts it lets out volcanic bombs what solidify to create new land. By lots of volcanic bombs building up overtime around the volcano can create a mountain.EXTRA HELPFUL!

Why does a mountain build around a volcano when a volcano erupts many times?
because the cynder, ashes and lava build around the volcano.and when the lava cools around it, it becomes a hard crust
How can volcanic eruptions build mountains?
The mountain built up by a volcano is essentially a pile of material that has erupted from it such as lava, ash, and welded tuff.
When ash cinders and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcanoes vent the result is a........volcano?
The result is a cinder cone.
Do volcanoes form mountains?
Some mountains are volcanic. It would be more accurate to say, in such cases, that the volcano formed a mountain, than to say that it formed on a mountain.
How does a volcano interrupt?
A volcano erupts when gases build to an inescapable high pressure. The gas pushes magma and ash through the cone of the volcano causing an eruption.

Is a volcano a type of mountain?
Not necessarily. Any hole or fissure from which molten rock or pyroclastic material emerges is a volcano. Not all volcanoes build into mountains.

When ash cinders and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcanoes vent its called a?
composite volcano.
How does a volcano build into a mountain?
A volcano forms a mountain as ash and/or lava build up over time from successive eruptions.
How were mountains build?
Due to the movement of the plate tectonics land mass will start to build up and mountains will build up.
When ash cinders and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcano and vent the result is a?
An avalanche or pyroclastic flow.
How does the magma rise from the volcano?
magma rises up out of a volcano by the build up of pressure
When ash cinders and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcanoes vent the result is a........volcano?
The result is a cinder cone.
A small volcano is erupting lava containing little silica what type of volcano is likely to build up from these eruptions?
a shield volcano
If a tall shield volcano has been built from many eruptions over thousands of years the magma that helped build this volcano contained?

Why did the people of Pompeii build their city by a volcano?
They didn't know it was a volcano. So they just went on with their lives.
