Volcanoes

Volcanoes are formed by such molten rock material coming out through the fissures along the plate margins.

Volcanoes are caused when molten rock (magma) flows out onto the earth's surface through fissures that are caused due to the movement of plates.

Magma comes out through fissures to the surface of the earth from the earth's interior. Such phenomena which are often accompanied by disastrous explosions are volcanoes. Volcanoes are formed only along the weak zones of the earth's crust.

The molten rock material found within the earth is called magma.

The Deccan Plateau is one of the lava plateaus of the world
