A mountain through which lava flows to Earth’s surface
Real World Example
Imagine you're trying to unclog a very stubborn drain, with water building up and pressure increasing behind the blockage. This situation is similar to a volcano, where immense pressure builds up beneath the Earth's surface until it finds a way to escape, much like the water does when the drain finally gives way. Just as the water pushes through the clog and flows out, lava breaks through the Earth's crust and flows down the mountain, with both scenarios involving the release of built-up pressure through a path of least resistance.
