The word volcanoes is derived from the Roman god of fire
Vulcan (Latin Vulcanus). Volcanoes are vents or holes
where hot inner materials of the Earth (such as gases,
crystals and molten rocks) are let out. The molten rock
material in the crust under the volcano
is known as magma. Lava, on the other hand, is the name
given to the molten rock that gets out of the volcano.
Igneous rock is formed when molten rock solidifies.
