1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.

What are volcanoes ? In appearance it looks like a cone-shapped mountain. But
the slop of the cone is rather flat and hollow. This is the crater, which is as it were, the
mouth of the volcano. The volcano is formed by matter rock coming up from below the
earth’s crust; by molten rock we mean rock which is so hot that it runs like liquid. This
rock is called lava.
Imagine a sort of pipe coming up from deep down in the earth’s surface passing
through the rocks of the earth’s crust and coming up to the crater. The lava forces its way
up this pipe and overflows to form the sides of the volcano. The volcanic mountain is
therefore found in the areas where the earth’s surface is for some reason weak and cannot
resist the pressure of the molten lava.
One of the most famous volcanic eruptions of ancient times was of Mount Vesuvius
near Neples in 79 AD. Some neighbouring towns were buried under huge amounts of ash.
The ash preserved the bodies of many of the victims which can still be seen today.
