What is a volcano? A volcano is an opening in Earth's crust where melted rock called magma, along with gas and ash, escapes from underground. They often form where tectonic plates meet. When pressure builds up deep inside the Earth, it eventually forces these materials out through the surface in an eruption.
Stay indoors and keep windows closed to avoid breathing in volcanic ash, which can irritate your lungs and eyes.
