A volcano is a opening in the planet or in the crescent of an earth where volcanic eruptions, gases, and other substances are released. Volcanoes often form a hill or mountain like layers of rock and ashes due to repeated eruptions.
Volcanoes are classified as active, silent, or extinct. Volcanoes have a recent history of eruptions; they may explode again. The silent volcanoes did not erupt for long but may erupt in the future. The extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt in the future.
Volcanoes are found both on land and under the sea.
