Volcano is formed by high-temperature magma ejected from the earth's crust and its related gases and debris in the deep underground, and has a special geological structure. Volcanic eruption is a very serious natural disaster, often accompanied by earthquakes. Volcanoes can be divided into dead volcanoes and active volcanoes. An active volcano that has not erupted for a period of time is called a dormant volcano. There is also a mud volcano, which is not a volcano strictly in science, but many people also regard it as a type of volcano. Volcanic eruption will do harm to human beings, but it also brings many benefits. Many gems are formed by volcanic eruptions; Volcanic eruption can also expand the land area, and the Hawaiian islands are formed by volcanic eruption; Some volcanoes can also be turned into scenic spots to promote tourism, such as Mount Fuji in Japan. The discipline that specializes in volcanic activity is called volcanology.
