      Not a whole lot – I know it can be very dangerous studying active volcanoes up close, since we can’t predict when they might erupt. I also know that when a volcano erupts under water, the lava solidifies into round-ish shapes known as pillow lava, even though they are not very soft. That random fact has stuck with me from one of the books I read about planet Earth when I was around 8! My brain remembers the most random things.

      I’m afraid not, I liked Reka’s fact about the underwater volcanoes!
