Wow! Look at that! It's a volcano! Have you ever seen one? They are amazing and powerful!
Imagine our Earth is like a giant ball. It has layers, like an onion or a cake! The outside layer is called the crust. That's where we live! Deep, deep inside, it's super, super hot!
It's so hot that rocks melt! This melted rock is called magma. This magma is under a lot of pressure, like shaking a bottle of soda!
Have you ever wondered why volcanoes explode with fire and melted rock? Today we're going to discover the amazing science behind volcanic eruptions! It's like a giant science experiment happening inside our Earth!
Our Earth is like a giant ball with different layers! The crust is where we live, like the skin of an apple. Below that is the mantle, where rock gets very hot. Deep underground, the rock gets so hot it melts! This melted rock is called magma.
Imagine you're shaking a soda bottle really hard! The pressure inside builds up and wants to escape! The same thing happens with magma underground. Hot magma pushes up, looking for a way out!
The Earth's crust is not one solid piece. It has cracks and weak spots. The pressure pushes the magma up, up, up! It finds a way out through these weak spots! When the magma bursts out of the volcano, that's an eruption! On the surface, we call it lava.
Now you know the amazing science behind volcanoes! Earth has hot melted rock called magma underground. Pressure builds up and pushes magma upward. When magma finds cracks in Earth's crust, it erupts and becomes lava. Volcanoes are nature's amazing way of releasing pressure!
