      How incredibly different they are! I think everyone has this stereotypical image of a cone shaped volcano with orange lava spweing out of the top, and although that is often the case, volcanoes erupt in so many different ways. When volcanoes erupt underwater the lava cools so quickly that it forms huge round balls of rock – they’re called pillow lavas. Check out this video:

      And volcanoes are just mesmerising – it’s like fire, you just can’t take you’re eyes off it, check this one out too:
