Volcanoes are holes in the Earth from which molten rock, gas, and ash erupt. The word volcano comes from a volcanic island called Vulcano in the Aeolian Islands of Italy. The island’s name is derived from the Roman God of Fire Vulcan. There are more than 500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcanologist collects information about volcanic activity in order to understand why and how volcanoes erupt and to predict future eruptions. Learn more about what they do through this slider.
