Volcanoes are among the most destructive natural forces in the solar system. They are found not only on Earth, but also on other planets and their moons.
The lithosphere is the surface layer of Earth. It contains the crust and the upper part of the mantle. Earth's lithosphere is broken up into parts called tectonic plates. The plates slide around very slowly on the mantle's magma. Most of the world's volcanoes are located where tectonic plates meet and magma breaks through to the surface.
