A volcano is created when the Earth's crust ruptures due to the movements of tectonic plates either coming together in a collision or tearing apart from one another. When this happens, the rupture causes gases, volcanic ash, and hot lava to erupt from a magma pocket below the surface of the Earth.
I want to introduce you a great book for kids (adults can also find intersting facts).
The book includes great real pictures and a lot of facts :
