Match the natural disaster to its picture.

Put the stages of how volcanoes are made in order:

• Pressure builds up inside the Earth.

• This then affects the Earth’s crust, so that magma can sometimes erupt through it.

• The lava and ash that has erupted through the crust build up to form the classic volcano cone shape over time.

Lava is the magma that comes onto the Earth's surface.

• True

• False

Match the following to the definition of the volcano type.

• Extinct

• Active

• Has erupted in the last 10,000 years.

• Dormant

• Has not erupted in 10,000 years and will not erupt again.

Sort these into whether they are positive (good) or negative (bad) effects of living near a volcano.
