Let’s explore this fiery science mystery together! πŸ”₯ 🌍 What Is a Volcano? A volcano is like Earth’s giant pressure valve. Deep inside our planet, it is EXTREMELY hot — hot enough to melt rock into a thick, glowing liquid called magma . This magma collects underground in a huge area called a magma chamber . As more magma and gas build up underground, pressure increases inside Earth. Eventually… πŸ’₯ BOOM! The magma pushes upward through cracks in Earth’s crust and erupts out of a volcano.
