1-Volcanoes
A volcano is a kind of mountain, but it is special. It has a hole at the top.
From time to time, it erupts which means that lava comes out from the
opening and spreads over the ground and often for many kilometers. This
makes volcanoes very dangerous places. Firstly,because the lava is very
hot, and secondly because of the poisonous gases that come out of the
opening as well. People are often killed if they live in towns close to a
volcano when it erupts. But in some ways, volcanoes are very useful too,
the lava, after it cools, makes new rock and the gray ash that also comes
out of volcano and falls on to the ground makes the soil richer, so plants
can grow more easily. Volcanoes and Africa. Some of these still erupts a
lot, others have stopped completely. Many volcanoes are very famous and

the year. Some of them move when there is no food to eat in one place or
when the weather gets colder. For example, there are butterflies that
fly from Canada to Mexico in winter and return in summer. Large deer
move from Alaska in autumn to look for food. Many birds fly thousands
of kilometers from north to south America and from Europe to Africa

another to search for food or find warmer homes is called migration. It's
studied by many scientists around the world. In most cases, they are
