Educational Objective

Volcanoes have been active since before the Age of Dinosaurs. The interior of the Earth is very hot, so hot in fact that it’s made mostly of melted rock (magma), which sometimes breaks through to the surface (as lava) through mountain-like openings called volcanoes. And yes, Volcanoes were erupting right alongside the dinosaurs!
