Volcanoes don't get enough credit for reshaping the face of planet Earth. About 80 percent of Earth's surface -- seafloor and land -- originated as a flow of molten rock from deep inside the earth.
"Volcanoes assail the senses. They are beautiful in repose and awesome in eruption; they hiss and roar; they smell of brimstone. Their heat warms, their fires consume; they are the homes of gods and goddesses." Quoted from the 2001 book "Volcanoes in America's National Parks" by Robert and Barbara Decker.
