VOLCANOES

** Volcanoes **

The Earth is shaking, the air is full of ashes, everything is hot... A volcano is erupting!!!! What can we do? Many years ago, people believed that volcanoes erupted because the Gods were angry. The only way to make the Gods happy again was giving them presents. People chose the best fruits, vegetables, animals, even the prettiest girls and threw them into the volcano. Do you think that worked? Did volcanoes stop rumbling after the Gods received their present? What are volcanoes and why do volcanoes erupt?
