PIMPLES ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH

Pressure builds, the cap may explode, red stuff flows… I’m talking about a volcano. 8th grade will never forget how one works, and now, neither will you. You are probably familiar with dramatic explosive eruptions, but they are actually quite rare. For instance, magma is constantly welling up at the bottom of the ocean, creating new land. There are several different types of volcanoes, and even different types of lava and the formations they make. Did you know that a single eruption can affect the entire globe? The gas, ash, and dust resulting from the 1991 eruption of Mt. Pinatubo affected the global climate!
