A volcanic eruption happens when magma, gas, and ash come out from inside the Earth.

Magma that comes out of a volcano is called smoke.

Volcanoes are often found in the “Ring of Fire” area.

Lava and ash from volcanoes make the soil around them less fertile.

Many people live near volcanoes because the soil is good for farming.

Volcanic eruptions can only happen in cold areas.

The ash from eruptions can cover the sky and make it hard to breathe.

Volcanoes are dangerous but also bring some benefits.

Lava flows slowly and never destroys anything.

People still live near volcanoes even though there is a risk of eruption.
