The Reading on Volcanoes elaborates on the concepts presented in the Activities section of Project Earth Science: Geology, Revised 2nd Edition. This Reading was written especially for this volume with the teacher in mind.
Volcanic activity occurs mainly at and near plate boundaries, but also can occur above hot spots. During Earth’s history, volcanic activity has contributed to or caused the formation of our atmosphere and oceans, and created Earth’s crust and lithospheric plates. Volcanoes can be explosive, spectacular, and hazardous.
