How a volcano is fromed


L.I Can I organize the way I structure my writing so it fits the type of writing I am doing?


How a volcano is formed. 

A volcano is a hill or a mountain with a crater that lava, rock, ash and gas come out. A volcano is formed when tectonic plates push together and make a weak spot. The magma shot's out when the pressure in the  magma chamber gets huge.  The pressure forces the magma to shoot out of the  main vent. Some of the magma comes out of the secondary vent. When the lava cools down it turns into hard rock. The rock builds up over millions of years to make a volcano.
