Volcano

Magma,

Melted, molten rock,

Like soup that boils,

In a crock...

Beneath the Earth,

It rolls and roils,

Beneath the Earth,

It turns and toils...

Pressure grows,

Magma escapes,

Blows through holes,

Of different shapes...

Mountain cones,

Ring of fire,

Volcanoes blow,

Ash flies higher!

Magma flows,

Becomes hot lava,

Cools to make,

A place like Java...

Magma comes,

From underground,

And flows in lava,

All around...

Listen now,

Don't interrupt,

When volcanoes blow,

They do erupt!

Volcano:

An opening in the Earth's crust through which molten rock called magma can escape in the form of lava. The ring of fire is an area where a large number of volcanoes and earthquakes occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. The ring of fire has 452 volcanoes and is the location of about 90% of all the world's earthquakes. Java, Indonesia is the 13th largest island in the world and was formed primarily by volcanic eruptions. It is also the world's most populated island with over 135 million residents.
