1 volcanoes occur because the rock in the mantle closest to the core melts
2 this is less dense than the it melts
surrounding rock so
3 the more dense rock sinks and takes it's place
4
this sets of convections currents in the mantle
5 the movement in the mantle causes the crust to break
6
the cracks in the crust is most likely where volcanoes occur
