 Run for your life! Tired of people saying that? Well I am, I think volcanoes are very dangerous. Let me tell you why. 
            What makes a volcano erupt?
   Pressure. It pushes the pool of magma. The magma burst through the surface. The explosion is like toothpaste shooting out of the tube when you give a hard squeeze. Volcanoes erupt sometimes or never.I know it's that awsome.
  Do volcanoes erupt underwater?
      Yes. In fact, many more active volcanoes may erupt underwater than it erupt on land. They are called ''rift'' volcanoes. Volcanoes that don't erupt are called ''indoor volcanoes.''     
       How many active volvcanoes are there?
     Probably about 1,500.There is about one and a half billion people living near there.One dangerous volcano in the world is Mt.Etna it has erupted 190 times.  I know wow!
     You'r brain is probably full with facts. Now you know things about volcanoes. For more information visit brain pop or buy the book Why Do Volcanoes Blow There Tops?
