WARNING: Volcanoes are Awesome!!!

Now that we've covered the interior of the Earth and basics of plate tectonics, its time that we focus on the truly amazing effects of tectonic plates converging, diverging, and transforming. The two major effects of these interactions that we will study are earthquakes and volcanoes. First we will study volcanoes!!!
