From the Publisher

Explore some of Earth’s amazing features:

Volcanoes

Volcanoes are openings in Earth’s crust where gas and magma escape from beneath the surface. The magma and gases are forced out of a crack in Earth’s crust. This is a volcanic eruption.

Canyons

A canyon is a very large, very deep valley with somewhat straight sides. Canyons are usually formed over millions of years as river water erodes and carves the land.

Mountains

Mountains are created where tectonic plates come together. Over time, the land builds up. When the top of this rocky land pile is more than 1,000 feet taller than its surroundings, it is called a mountain.
