Volcanoes and earthquakes up close, sentence 2
A volcano erupts when magma, which is lighter than the solid rock around it and full of dissolved gas, rises into a chamber under the mountain; as it nears the surface the gas comes out of it in bubbles, like the gas in a shaken bottle of fizzy drink when the cap comes off.
Who acts: volcano, magma, gas, cap · What happens: erupt, be, dissolve, rise, near, come out · To what, where: chamber, surface, magma, bubbles
