Volcanos: Too Hot To Handle

What comes out of volcanos? A lot of stuff! Some eject lava, others hot ash. The materials that come from deep within volcanos raise Earth’s surface, make mountains, and create new land masses. The Hawaiian Islands, Japan, and Iceland were all formed by volcanic eruptions. Come along and see Mauna Loa during an eruption and Mount St. Helens after it blew its top.
