Volcan

The video tutorial explores volcanoes, starting with their definition as landforms where molten rock erupts. It explains the role of tectonic plates in volcano formation, particularly in the Pacific Ring of Fire. The tutorial describes different types of volcanoes, such as composite, shield, and compound ash volcanoes, highlighting their characteristics and eruption styles. It also discusses the activity status of volcanoes, categorizing them as active, dormant, or extinct. Finally, the video extends the discussion to volcanoes in the solar system, mentioning Olympus Mons on Mars as the largest known volcano.
