A mountain often builds up on top.
Cause: Due to the movement of tectonic plates or hotspots, hot magma rises from the Earth's mantle.
Types:
Active → regular eruptions.
Dormant → can still erupt.
Extinct → no longer active.
Consequences: Eruptions can be dangerous (lava, ash clouds, earthquakes), but they also create fertile soil.
Example: Etna, Mauna Loa, Krakatau.
Volcanoes are fascinating (and sometimes destructive) forces of nature!
