About volcanoes
A volcano is an opening in the earth’s crust through which gases, molten rocks materials (lava), ash, steam etc. are emitted outward in the course of an eruption.
Volcanic activity is an example of endogenic process.
Depending upon the explosive nature of the volcano, different landforms can be formed such as a plateau or a mountain.
