Amazing Lava

In the process of researching and writing this series about volcanoes, I've learned a lot about earth processes I'd thought little about before.

I've come to sense both the danger and the beauty of the lava that lives deep inside our planet.

In fact, magma is Earth's hot living centre, and it constantly boils out along seams and up vents to re-form and enrich our planetary home.
