Volcano Coloring Page

Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma builds up beneath Earth's crust and pressure forces it upward. This magma rises through cracks in the crust and explodes out of the volcano's opening, or vent. The pressure comes from gases trapped in the hot magma and the weight of overlying rock pushing down on it.

Approximately 1,350 potentially active volcanoes exist worldwide, with about 50 erupting each year. The Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean, contains roughly 75 percent of Earth's active and dormant volcanoes. This makes it the most volcanically active region on our planet.

Magma is molten rock that stays beneath Earth's crust underground. Once magma erupts from a volcano and flows onto the surface, it's called lava. The only difference is location: magma inside, lava outside. Both are extremely hot, reaching temperatures of 700 to 1,200 degrees Celsius.
