Volcanoes are like Earth’s lava-powered painters. When a volcano erupts, it spews hot rock and ash out of the ground, building up new land or changing old land into something new. Imagine a giant melting pot that throws stuff all over the place, that's what happens under the surface! Sometimes volcanoes even create whole islands.
Examples
- A volcano erupting in the middle of the ocean creates a brand-new island.
- Lava flows from a volcano cover an entire forest, turning it into solid rock.
- Ash from a big eruption falls like snow, covering everything for miles around.
