Posted on January 23, 2017 I think of volcanoes erupting over a matter of minutes or hours – not for the better part of a year! But that's because I think of volcanic eruptions as violent explosive outbursts of lava and gas and steam. Mauna Loa, in Hawaii, is the largest volcano on the planet partly because its lava tends to be silica poor, and therefore the lava eruptions tend to be very fluid, non-explosive, gentler and slower-moving than many other volcano's eruptions, although often…

About 30 km beneath your feet is the Earth’s mantle.This region is so hot that molten rock can squeeze out and form giant bubbles of liquid rock called magma chambers. This magma is lighter than the surrounding rock, so it rises up, finding cracks and weakness in the Earth’s crust. When it finally reaches the surface, it erupts out of the ground as lava, ash, volcanic gasses and rock. It’s called magma when it’s under the ground, and lava when it erupts onto the surface. -- Celia Foster
