A volcano is a geological landform on the surface of the earth (and other planets) where magma from the planet's interior erupts (or once erupted) to the surface. Roughly defined, a volcano consists of a magma chamber, pipes and vents. The magma chamber is where magma from deep within the planet accumulates, while pipes are channels that lead to surface vents, openings in the volcano's surface through which lava is ejected during an eruption. Some volcanoes produce material which builds up into a large mountain-like structure, other types of volcano form different landforms. PRINT SHOWS: THE CRATER OF MOUNT ETNA IN 1804-05-09 AND A VIEW OF ERUPTION - Mount Etna (also known locally as Mongibeddu in Sicilian and Mongibello in Italian) is an active volcano on the east coast of Sicily, close to Messina and Catania. It is the largest active volcano in Europe, currently standing about 3,350 m (10,991 ft) INSIDE THE CRATERS OF MOUNT VESUVIUS IN 1880 AND VIEWS OF LAVA FLOWS IN 1872 - Mount Vesuvius (Italian: Monte Vesuvio, Latin: Mons Vesuvius) is a volcano east of Naples, Italy. It is the only volcano on the European mainland to have erupted within the last hundred years, although it is not currently erupting. The only other two such volcanoes in Italy (Etna and Stromboli) are located on islands.
