There are many volcanoes in the world. Volcanoes are a natural way that our Earth and other planes use in order to cool off. All planets are warm in their mantles. Sometimes this heat inside melts rocks and these hot rocks – magma – combining with gasses break through the crust and namely in such a way happens an eruption. Lava flows out of a volcano top. It’s really dangerous but nevertheless, eruptions hold a lot of appeal to many tourists.  Some volcanoes erupt only once or twice but some erupt many times and seem never stop.
