Iceland volcano song aids pronunciation of Eyjafjallajokull An Icelandic musician has composed a lighthearted song to attempt to help people remember how to pronounce the name of the volcano which has caused travel chaos.
Hot magma, melted rock below Earth's crust, rises and collects in a magma chamber deep below the surface. If the magma flows through a conduit up to a vent on the surface, then it may cause an eruption and form a volcano. Gases, lava, and pyroclastic material are erupted from volcanic vents. The mountain that forms from layers of lava and tephra is called a volcano. The word volcano comes from the name of a Roman god, Vulcan, who was the god of fire. Magma that solidifies inside a volcano can form dikes and sills. Volcanoes are classified as active, dormant or extinct.
