Volcanoes have been a part of the Earth's geological history for millions of years, with the first known volcanic eruption occurring around 2 million years ago. Volcanoes are formed due to the movement of tectonic plates in the Earth's mantle and can be found in various types of landscapes, including along tectonic plate boundaries and in hotspots, such as Hawaii. Volcanoes have had a significant impact on the Earth's climate, geology, and ecology, with some of the most famous eruptions being Pompeii, Mount St. Helens, Krakatoa, and Eyjafjallajökull. Volcanic eruptions can cause widespread destruction and loss of life, but they also have the potential to create new land, enrich the soil, and provide geothermal energy.
