Volcanoes exist all around the world. There are three types of volcanoes, they are shield volcano, cinder cone volcano and a composite volcano. A volcano is a place where ash, gases, and molten material rock from deep underground erupt to the surface. Lava comes out of a vent , then it turns into a lava flow. When external waters, such as groundwater , mixes with magma and then it turns into steam. The violence of an eruption depends on the amount of gas that was dissolved in the magma. Pyroclastics, form from when fragments of magma are thrown into the air by expanding gas. silicic caldera complexes produce the most violent volcanic eruptions.

Volcanoes may have a huge impact on the people who live near them by having very large eruptions. Many people have died from a 60 mile eruption. The benefits of this volcano is that it gets tourism, it has geothermal energy ,and the very large crystals that come out of the top. Many people live near the volcano because of all of this.
Volcanoes have been in existence for millions of years. There are over 10,00 volcanoes that we know of ! People have been looking for new volcanoes almost every day. One of the most dangerous volcano are Mount Rainier, and Mount Kilauea.
