What others think about Volcanoes Facts
By: suraj on Aug 14, 2008
  A volcano is a geological landform (usually a mountain) where magma (rock of the earth's interior made molten or liquid by high pressure and temperature) erupts through the surface of the planet. In simple terms a volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth. It is a hole in the Earth from which molten rock (magma) and gas erupt. Magma is liquid rock inside a volcano. Lava is liquid rock (magma) that flows out of a volcano. Fresh lava ranges from 1,300° to 2,200° F (700° to 1,200° C) in temperature and glows red hot to white hot as it flows.
