What is a volcano? Volcanoes form where cracks or ruptures are present in the earth's surface, or crust. Magma - molten, liquid rock beneath the surface - rises through these cracks.

Once it reaches the surface, it is called lava. High pressure due to heat may even cause it to explode.

Ancient peoples attributed volcanic eruptions to acts of the gods. This is evident from Greek myth, and possibly from a man-made, volcano shaped pyramid discovered in Peru.

In modern and popular art, volcanoes are often drawn alongside dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures, hearkening to early times in the earth's history when the planet may have been less geographically stable.

Are volcanoes only a feature of the past? No, there are many active volcanoes on earth today.

Some of the most active include Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii; Mount Etna and Mount Stomboli, in the Medditerranean region, near Italy; and Mount Yasur of the island of Vanuatu, that has been erupting for more than 800 years.

The geysers and other water features of Yellowstone National Park in the northwest United States are also fueled by volcanic activity.

Astronomers have observed volcanoes on the surface of other planets in our solar system.

The most common volcanic figure in art is that of a mountain - called a cone - with a broken top, from which lava, smoke, and ash erupt.

This is the type of volcano depicted in our easy, step-by-step drawing guide.
