A volcanic <em>eruption</em> occurs when the <em>pressure </em> in a magma <em>chamber</em> becomes so great it is released like a valve. Magma is released through the volcano's <em>cone</em> in an eruption of <em>lava</em> rocks (bombs) and ash. A volcanic <em>cone</em> develops over centuries as flowing <em>lava</em> from the active volcano <em>cools </em>to form layers of rock. Hope this works, Ahawk
