3. Answer to Question
• Most of Volcanoes are formed in Subduction
zones (Convergent Boundaries).
• Magma is melted rock which stored in Mantle,
one of earths layers and lava is magma which
reaches surface of lithosphere.
4. Summary
• Volcanoes formed out of magma and lava.
Lava is same as magma but it erupts in the
surface of lithosphere. Most of the Volcanoes
are located in Pacific ocean which called ring
of Fire and middle of ring of fire located Hot
Spot which because of hot spot created
Hawaii. There is 4 types of Volcanoes (Strato
Volcano, Cinder Cone, Shield Volcano and Hot
Spot).
