(Mount Vesuvius),Hawaii (Mount Kilauea) and New Zealand (Rangitoto Island),(Mount Ruapehu) and (Mount Doom) Ngauruhoe. In fact the biggest volcano is on mars and the volcano is called olympus mons and there are also mountains underneath the sea.

Something you need to know is that when the volcano spews out lava it turns into different kind of rocks like obsidian,scoria,lightweight pumice and basalt. In fact a volcano is like a coke bottle shaking then when you open it the coke bottle explodes.

Thirdly,When do volcanoes erupt? Volcanoes only erupt when there is too much pressure on it. In fact a volcano can also erupt when the tectonic plates shift,collide or crash. Did you know that when the tectonic plates move away it can cause an earthquake.

Finally, How are we affected by volcanoes? Did you know that  when a volcano happens animales can die,humans might die,humans can get seriously burned. In fact houses can get destroyed and when the ocean gets warm it kills the fishes. Something you need to know is that when there is too much pressure on the sea it can cause a flood. Furthermore several people get injured and the ash inhaled is very unhealthy for humans and the fresh water turns into disgusting water and when the biggest rock hits the ocean it can cause a tsunami.
