VOLCANOES AROUND THE WORLD
Another thing we know about volcanoes is they don’t happen just anywhere. They are certain places under the earth where the rock is broken in aw way that lets the steam and hot rock escape to the outside more easily. Scientists know where these places are, and maps have been made to let everybody know.
