When a Mountain Wakes For hundreds of years a volcano can sit quietly, seeming like an ordinary mountain. Deep beneath it, though, melted rock called magma is always building up. As pressure grows, the ground may swell and small earthquakes rumble. Scientists watch these warning signs closely to keep nearby towns safe. When the pressure finally becomes too great, the volcano erupts. Ash, gas, and glowing lava burst out and reshape the land around it. After the eruption, rich volcanic soil helps new plants grow. 1) What builds up beneath a volcano? 2) What warning signs appear? 3) Why do scientists watch volcanoes? 4) What grows well in volcanic soil?
