What is molten rock that has formed deep within the Earth?

• Hot Spot
• Magma
• Lava
• Volcano

What is a volcano?

• A mountain that has lava all over it 
• A giant hill filled with magma
• A long high sea wave 
• A hole in the Earth where magma erupts

What is / are sign(s) that a volcano may erupt soon?

• Earthquake activity in the area
• Changes in the shape of the volcano
• Different amounts of gas being produced
• All of these are signs

Where are most volcanoes found?

• Southern Hemisphere
• Ring of Fire
• Mid-Atlantic Ridge
• Hot Spots

Volcanoes that have recently erupted are known as:

• Extinct Volcano
• Dormant Volcano
• Active Volcano
