Volcano Coloring Page

Volcanoes erupt when pressure builds beneath the Earth's crust. Hot molten rock called magma rises from deep underground through cracks in the crust. When the pressure becomes too great, the magma forcefully breaks through to the surface, releasing gases, ash, and lava in a dramatic explosion.

Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface, while lava is the same material after it erupts and flows above ground. The only difference is location. Once magma reaches the surface during an eruption, it's called lava. Both are incredibly hot, ranging from 700 to 1,200 degrees Celsius.

Most volcanoes form along the Pacific Ring of Fire, a horseshoe-shaped zone around the Pacific Ocean containing about 75 percent of Earth's active volcanoes. This region experiences frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity due to shifting tectonic plates constantly moving and colliding.
