Volcanoes
• In the image at left you see the red magma (hot, liquid rock) flowing upward and out of the mountain through a tube called a vent.
•When magma comes to the surface it is called lava. •This type of volcano is called a composite because of the different layers made up of older eruptions.
• A magma flow between two layers is called a sill and a flow through layers is called a dike.
During a volcanic explosion hot gases, ashes and cinders can be thrown several thousand feet into the air. After the eruption the top of the mountain falls in on itself and forms a crater.
