Deep under the ground, rock melts into hot liquid called magma. When pressure builds up, the magma pushes upward and bursts out through a crack in the surface, and then it is called lava. Volcanic ash can travel far and cool the Earth for some time. Volcanoes also make fertile soil. Scientists watch volcanoes carefully to warn people early.

Reported by Advait, Class 5, Hilltop Model School, Shimla (young reporter).
