第一篇
Volcanoes
Thereare thousands of volcanoes （火山） all over the world.What makes volcanoes? Whathappens?
The inside of the earth is very hot.Because it is very, very hot,the rock has melted like ice.It has become liquid, like water.It is alwaysboiling, like water in a kettle.If you have seen a kettle boiling, you knowthat the steam and boiling water try to get out.The very hot melted rock insidethe earth also tries to get out.Usually it cannot because the outside of theearth is too thick and strong.
But in some places the outside of the earthis thin and weak.Sometimes a crack appears.The hot melted rock, which we call"lava" （熔巖）, pushes out through the crack and bursts through.Steam and gasshoot up into the air and the hot melted lava pours out.Big pieces of rock maybe thrown high into the air.
After a while the volcano becomes quiet again.The melted lava becomes hard.Later the same thing happens again and again.Eachtime more hot lava pours out on top of the cold lava and then becomes hard.Inthis way a kind of mountain is built up, with a hole down the middle.Perhapsthe volcano will then be quiet.Perhaps it will start again hundreds of yearslater.
Vesuvius is the name of a very famous volcano in Italy.It firstcame to life many, many years ago.It was quiet for hundreds of years.Then inthe year 79 it suddenly burst.A great cloud of smoke shot up into the sky withgreat burning rocks.Hot lava poured down its sides.About 3,000 people werekilled.
This has happened again many times since that year.Sometimes nodamage was caused, or only little damage.But there was serious damage in theyears 472, 1631, 1794, 1861, 1872 and 1906.You can see that a volcano can stayalive for many years.There was also serious damage in 1914 but there has notbeen any since that year.
