Volcanism and Mountain Formation Quiz

• Volcanism is the process of making mountains by raising the surface of the Earth.
• Volcanes are formed from the eruption of magma and gas.
• The depth of a volcano is determined by the weight of the rocks that make it up.
• Volcanes can have many layers and the depth of each layer is based on the weight of the rocks in that layer.
• Vulcanism is sometimes associated with the process of destruction, but they can also have some positive effects, such as the creation of new land and the study of volcanoes contributing to our understanding of the Earth's interior.

Test your knowledge about the process of volcanism and how it leads to the formation of mountains. Learn about the layers, depth, and effects of volcanoes on the Earth's surface.
