Main Body

Volcanoes are geological structures with a vent for releasing magma from inside the earth's crust.

Fig: Volcano

Volcano Distribution across the world:

1Along the ring of fire.
2Along the subduction zone of tectonic plates
3Along the divergent oceanic crust.
4Mantle plumes are promoted. (@) Hawaii.
5Promoting integrated Rainwater Management.
6Organic farming, reducing chemical.
7Sewage treatment plants established. (@) Narendra Clean Yamuna George.

Consequences of Volcanoes:

1Earthquake
2Air pollution
3land feature formation. (@) Rocky Trail.
4Destroyer for flora 2 fauna.
