A volcanic eruption is a powerful release of energy from the Earth's interior, where molten rock (magma) rises to the surface, often explosively. This results in lava, gas, ash, and rock fragments being ejected. Eruptions can range from simple lava flows to catastrophic explosions, shaping landscapes and affecting the climate.

Magma is extremely hot, molten rock found beneath the Earth's surface, formed from the melting of rocks due to intense heat and pressure. When it flows onto the surface through volcanic eruptions, it is known as lava.

Metamorphic rocks are created when existing rocks are transformed by high heat, pressure, or mineral-rich fluids, resulting in new rock types like marble or schist.

Igneous rocks, named after the Latin word for fire, form when molten rock cools and solidifies. This molten rock comes from deep within the Earth, often near plate boundaries or hot spots, and rises to the surface.

SEDIMENT

Sediment is solid material, including rocks, minerals, and organic remains, that is transported and deposited in new locations. Over time, these materials accumulate and can form sedimentary rock.

Sedimentary rocks form from the accumulation and compression of sediments, which can include fragments of other rocks, minerals, and organic material. They often have distinctive layering and can include types like sandstone, limestone, and shale.

ROCK CYCLE

The rock cycle is a natural process showing how igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks can transform into each other over time. Through processes like melting, cooling, erosion, and pressure, any rock type can change into another.
