How do you make vlolcanoe erupt?

You can'tmake a volcano erupt.It happens naturally.What happens is, well, first of all, the planet is separated into plates, and when a plate from way below ground or something like that, it goes under into the magma that is in the center of the Earth. Which forces magma to go upward through "escape routes" (volcanoes).When the magma reaches the surface through the volcano it becomes lava, and it comes out the volcano which is an eruption. So you can't make a volcano erupt.

It does erupt, just not all the time. Many volcanoes go through quiet periods of years and even centuries between eruptions. Mount St. Helens is known for a massive explosive eruption that ocurred on May 18, 1980. The volcano also produced a series of small eruptions from 2004 to 2008 and has since been quite.
