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!

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.
Why does a mountain build around a volcano when a volcano erupts many times?
A mountain forms around a volcano because each volcanic eruption can release large amounts of lava and other volcanic materials, which can accumulate over time and gradually build up the height and size of the volcano. With each eruption, new layers of lava and ash are added to the existing structure, creating a larger and taller mountain over time.
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.
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.
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.

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.
When ash cinders and bombs build up in a steep pile around a volcanoes vent its called a?
composite volcano.
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.
What are mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface?
Mountains formed by magma that reach the Earth's surface are called volcanoes. These volcanic mountains are created through the eruption of lava, ash, and gases from the Earth's mantle and crust. Over time, repeated eruptions build up the volcano, forming a distinct peak.
A small volcano is erupting lava containing little silica what type of volcano is likely to build up from these eruptions?
a shield volcano
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.
