Expert Solution
Step 1

Volcano is a rupture in the Earth’s crust through which lava, volcanic ash and gases escape from the interior layer of the Earth. It causes an eruption and the eruption can be explosive, ejecting particles high into the sky or the eruption may be calmer with gentle flows of particles. These erupted particles may be liquid rock- it is known as lava when it is on the surface and magma when it is underground, ashes, gases or cinders.
