Basically, a magma chamber appears below the surface at some depth. The magma, molten liquid rock essentially migrates slowly to the surface. Once at the surface, the volcano gets constructed over the years. Volcano construction is a natural process. Look in a geology textbook or go on-line and search around. The textbook is more trustworthy !!

Go to Hawaii and you will be on a volcano formed by a hot spot. Still being formed today.
