Volcanos are openings in the Earth's crust that allows magma and other things to escape. They usually form at diverging and converging boundaries of tectonic plates, at points where there is thinning of the Earth's crust, and where there are mantle plumes. They represent hot spots where the extreme pressure under the crust forces its way out, sometimes explosively, sometimes not.
