Volcanoes are like giant bubbles in the Earth. When molten rock, or lava, builds up inside the Earth and pushes its way out, it explodes, just like a soda bottle when you shake it too much. This happens because of pressure from deep below the ground.
Examples
- A volcano is like a soda bottle, when you shake it up and open it quickly, it explodes.
- Imagine lava as hot soup rising through cracks in the Earth’s crust to make a mess on the surface.
- When tectonic plates move apart, it's like a giant crack forming in the ground, magma flows out, creating new land.
