How are volcanoes caused?

Answer 1

Volcanoes are places on earth where molten rock (called magma) reaches the surface of the earth and comes out as lava. The heat melting the magma is that coming from the core of the planet.

There are certain places on Earth where volcanoes are more prevalent than others, these places relate to the edges of the tectonic plates that cover the surface of the planet, where heat flow from the core is higher.

Answer 2

Volcanoes are caused by tectonic plate movements, which create weaknesses in the Earth's crust where magma can rise to the surface. This magma may erupt as lava, ash, and gases due to pressure building up beneath the surface. Different types of volcanoes form in different ways, such as through subduction zones, hotspots, or rift zones.

Answer 3

Volcanoes are caused by heat getting into the volcano and making the lava hot so it spurts out through the top. They also get caused by rainy days and lots of clouds
