Volcanoes form when magma rises through the Earth's crust, creating a vent where lava escapes.
Increased pressure inside the volcano triggers an eruption, releasing lava, ash, and gases.
Cooled lava forms stacked layers, gradually shaping and growing the volcano over time.
Following a quiet period, the volcano becomes dormant, with no eruptions but its structure remains intact.
Wind, water, and weathering slowly erode the volcano, reducing its height and altering its shape over time.
The volcano can become extinct, ceasing activity and unable to erupt once more.
