Volcanoes

Volcanoes are mountains that contain lava, and often erupt, causing lava flows. However, some are dormant. The most devastating eruptions included Mt. Vesuvius, Krakatoa, Mauna Loa, and Mt. St. Helens. Volcanoes are located all over the world, and have been featured in movies and TV shows. There was even a song by Jimmy Buffett, "Volcano", about a man who can't decide on where to go when a volcano erupts.
Hanna-Barbera has featured volcanoes in many of their animated series.
