BOOM BOOM POW! =)

     Cue the sound effects! * BOOM!* Okay good, they work. Well lately there's been some gossip about volcanoes. Apparently, people think that the ones that violently erupt are cooler than the ones that are silent. Why are they silent you ask? My guess is that they are just shy but I'm going to go look it up on that website with the weird science dude that talks to you. BRB...

         Well, first of all, gases from the Earth formed from volcanic ash and other materials create a violent volcano like this one:

      

Show off!

             All that magma that later becomes lava explodes out of a violent volcano. Wow this guy needs some serious anger management classes. Anyways, what's the deal with these silent volcanoes? The talking science professor said that  silent volcanoes ( also calles shield volcanoes by the way) form on the ocean floor. You see, what happens is when magma is forced upward from the Earth, the sea floor blocks it's way to becoming explosive but soon enough, all the pressure builds up and it bursts from its hole.The good thing is that the pressure of the ocean, calms the magma and it oozes out of  the volcano; not explodes like SOME volcanoes i would know...
