What is Volcano about?

Volcanoes can unleash rivers of lava, ash and steam, reshaping the land and threatening everything nearby. Yet these fiery mountains also help life flourish. Their minerals enrich soil, new islands rise from the sea, and underwater volcanoes provide homes for coral reefs and sea creatures. Exploring science, history and mythology, this book reveals how volcanoes are formed, why they erupt and how their powerful forces have helped shape Earth from its earliest beginnings.
