Do you know how Volcanoes Work? What makes Volcanoes Erupt? Mother Earth is here to explain. Volcanoes are openings on the Earth’s surface where LAVA escapes. Confused about Lava vs Magma? Lava is another word for molten rock (magma) when it escapes above the Earth’s crust. In this video, we’ll learn about the layers of the Earth, and how the core (the very center) is VERY hot and under a lot of pressure. It’s so hot, it heats up the other layers, and some of the rocky layers underground melt into MAGMA. Eventually the pressure builds up, and the magma escapes to the surface as LAVA! Have you ever seen a volcano erupting? At the end of our video, you’ll get to see a VOLCANO MONTAGE so be sure to watch to the end for that exciting finish!
