Description

Constantly moving on a hot bed of magma, volcanoes form in two ways at their boundaries. Plates sometimes collide, causing one to slide beneath the other. This is called a destructive boundary. Pressure and heat created by this movement forces magma up into cracks in the rocks until it explodes to the surface, as lava, causing a volcanic eruption. VIDEOGRAPHIC
