How Do Volcanoes Work? Songtext
von StoryBots

How does, how does a volcano erupt?
The answer lies within Earth′s three layers
The core, mantle, and crust

The core is deep in the middle of the planet
And man, it's hot so far down
Next up is the mantle with the crust right above it
Which includes our beloved ground
The heat from the core melts rocks in the mantle
Like wax on a candle and then
With gases it mixes and that makes a liquid called magma
Say it again

They call it magma, magma
That scorching molten rock
But how on Earth does it make its way
Up through the Earth to the light of day?


Well, the land below our feet is divided into pieces
Called tectonic plates
Like a jigsaw puzzle but the pieces shuffle around
At a sluggish pace
And depending on the flow of the magma below
They may bump or pull apart
When that creates gaps there′s a pressure change fast
And that's how eruptions start

Because the pressure, pressure
Shoots magma right on through
And in a flash you'll see a splash
Of hot lava fondue
How does, how does a volcano erupt?
The answer lies within Earth′s three layers
The core, mantle, and crust (Oh yeah)
The core, mantle, and crust
