Ka Ka Ka Ka woooooo!

     I love random titles! Anyways do you know what causes volcanoes? Don't think it's boring cause it's actually really awesome! The answer is:  MAGMA PRESSURE AND HEAT! Hooray! Well actually not hooray because volcanoes are extremely dangerous. I guess they're jealous of all the living things in the world so it goes BOOM! So, the heat and pressure build up and melt the rock. Aw poor rocks. This melted rock is called magma, and as the magma rises up, it turns into lava.
CAUTION: DO NOT DRINK!

        Well, all that lava has to go somewhere right? Here's how the magma gets to the surface: First of all, the magma is released into underground pool things where eventually the pressure builds up and the lava ( which was magma) explodes out of the hole of a volcano. Wow this must be a great stress relieving technique.  It even looks fun to do:
