oh hello friends are you wondering what this is well it's the molten lava that comes out from a

00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:34,359
volcano come let me tell you what a volcano is zoom in i'm sure you've seen mountains that open

3
00:00:34,359 --> 00:00:43,320
up and blurt out thick molten semi-solid like substance well that's called a volcano let's

4
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:52,200
learn more about it a volcano is a vent or chimney that connects magma from within the earth's crust

5
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:58,799
the Earth's surface. The liquid rock is called magma when it is under the Earth's

6
00:00:58,799 --> 00:01:11,400
surface and lava after it comes out. So how does a volcano erupt? The molten rock

7
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:16,980
stored in the magma chamber rises through the crater pipe pockets. As it

8
00:01:16,980 --> 00:01:24,900
travels up the main vent gases expand and water becomes steam creating pressure when the pressure

9
00:01:24,900 --> 00:01:31,319
can no longer be contained the volcano erupts through the crater and secondary side vents

10
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:41,400
common volcanic gases include water vapor carbon dioxide sulfur dioxide hydrogen chloride hydrogen

11
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:47,879
fluoride and hydrogen sulfide popular belief is that volcanoes are large

12
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:53,760
cone-shaped mountains but that's not true there are many more types of

13
00:01:53,760 --> 00:02:01,840
volcanoes such as white plateaus fissure vents and bulging dome shapes there are

14
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,699
also volcanoes found on the ocean floor and even under ice caps such as those

15
00:02:08,699 --> 00:02:15,939
found in Iceland trivia time the word volcano originally comes from the name

16
00:02:15,939 --> 00:02:23,699
of the Roman god of fire Vulcan the tallest volcano in the solar system

17
00:02:23,699 --> 00:02:31,860
isn't on earth at all but on Mars so tune in next time for some more

18
00:02:31,860 --> 00:02:38,599
fun-filled facts this is me zooming out
