Volcanoes: Formation and Types

The video explores the Stromboli volcano, which has been active for over 2,000 years. It explains how volcanoes form from magma beneath the Earth's surface, which becomes lava when it erupts. The video describes how volcanoes grow with each eruption and the different types of eruptions, such as Stromboli's fiery fountains and Mauna Loa's slow lava flows. It concludes by highlighting the powerful forces shaping our planet.
