Lava consumed more homes on Tuesday as the eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on La Palma continued into its 10th week.

A new vent in the volcano opened overnight, and scientists are warning the new lava stream could reach previously unaffected areas of the island.

In This Story: Volcano

A volcano is a rupture in the crust of a planetary-mass object, such as Earth, that allows hot lava, volcanic ash, and gases to escape from a magma chamber below the surface. On Earth, volcanoes are most often found where tectonic plates are diverging or converging, and most are found underwater.
