As you want here I am giving below RBSE ( Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education ) SSC exam English subject question paper , so I am providing same : 1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below. What are volcanoes ? In appearance it looks like a cone-shapped mountain. But the slop of the cone is rather flat and hollow. This is the crater, which is as it were, the mouth of the volcano. The volcano is formed by matter rock coming up from below the earth’s crust; by molten rock we mean rock which is so hot that it runs like liquid. This rock is called lava. Imagine a sort of pipe coming up from deep down in the earth’s surface passing through the rocks of the earth’s crust and coming up to the crater. The lava forces its way up this pipe and overflows to form the sides of the volcano. The volcanic mountain is therefore found in the areas where the earth’s surface is for some reason weak and cannot resist the pressure of the molten lava. One of the most famous volcanic eruptions of ancient times was of M ount Vesuvius near Neples in 79 AD. Some neighbouring towns were buried under huge amounts of ash. The ash preserved the bodies of many of the victims which can still be seen today. ekWMy isij&2013 d{kk&10] fo"k;&vaxzsth 3 (i) What do we call to the top of volcanoes ? 1 (ii) How does a volcano look like ? 1 (iii) Where are the volcanoes mostly found ? 1 (iv) When did the M ount Vesuvius volcano erupt ? 1 (v) How is lava formed ? 1 (vii) The upper part of the earth is called ......... 1 (vii) Find from the passage the word which means "fluid part of volcano". 1 2.
