    About this ebook

    Volcanoes have frightened man for thousands of years. Mountains spewing hot fire and ash have rained down destruction on cities, burning buildings and taking lives.
    But volcanoes are not just a destructive force. They are also a constructive force. They help to form the Earth's crust and create new lands.
    Named for Vulcan, the Roman god of fire, volcanoes have interested scientists for many years, but we still do not have all the answers.
    Here are some fun facts you may not know about volcanoes.
    Do you know:
    What is the difference between magma and lava?
    What are the different kinds of volcanoes?
    How are different kinds of volcanoes formed?
    How many volcanoes are on the ring of fire?
    Where is the largest volcano?
    And more.

    Find out the answers to these questions and more and amaze your family and friends with these fun facts.
