What is the point of volcanoes?

Answer 1

Sacrifice is to offer up something important to you for the greater good. It's purpose is to make you selfless and humble and to help a cause bigger than yourself.

A volcano's purpose is to vent built-up magma pressure within the earth.

The purpose of sacrificing to the volcano god is to prevent one's island from exploding during the next eruption.

Answer 2

The "pointed part" of a volcano is the peak or summit, which may be higher than the caldera.

The "point" or reason for a volcano to exist, is to release pressure caused by moving magma beneath the crust. The other way for this magma to be released is through long fissure vents in the ground.

Answer 3

Volcanoes are openings in the Earth's crust that allow magma, ash, and gases to escape from beneath the surface. They play a vital role in the Earth's geological processes by releasing built-up pressure, forming new land through lava flow, and contributing to the Earth's carbon cycle by releasing gases like carbon dioxide. Despite their destructive potential, volcanoes also create fertile soil for agriculture and geothermal energy resources.

Answer 4

The purpose of volcanoes is to release all the pressures formed by the intense heat, and to form new rocks called igneous rock by spewing lava onto a new layer of the crust.

Answer 5

A volcano is simply the result of earth forces under the ground. it has no 'purpose'.

Answer 6

To let the heat in the atmosphere to exit so it does not get too hot on earth
