A volcano is formed by pressure building up below the Earth's crust. Magma forces it way through weaknesses in the earth's crust. When the magma emerges it is called lava. When it cools, it solidifies into rock,or it may emerge though thin cracks,which are called fissure.Or it may be forced though wider pipes,that starts to build up, to a volcano.
