smaller
B
bigger
C
hungry
D
cold
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth’s upper mantle works its way to the surface. At the surface, it erupts to form lava flows and ash deposits. Over time as the volcano continues to erupt, it will get bigger and bigger.

Detailed explanation-2: -Volcanoes are created whenever there is a break in the Earth’s crust that opens a pathway for magma and gas to escape. Every time a volcano erupts, it changes in shape and size because the lava it releases cools and hardens around it. With time, this can make the volcano higher and wider.

Detailed explanation-3: -Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash, lava, and rock that are powerfully destructive. People have died from volcanic blasts. Volcanic eruptions can result in additional threats to health, such as floods, mudslides, power outages, drinking water contamination, and wildfires.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mix vinegar, dish soap, a few drops of water, and a few drops of red food coloring in a plastic cup. Add 1 teaspoon ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda into a small, empty plastic cup. Place this cup into the volcano crater. Quickly pour vinegar mixture into the ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda cup in the crater.

Detailed explanation-5: -An eruption will usually last until the local melt has been depleted, or until the gas pressure inside the magma chamber falls to a level at which gas is no longer trying to escape. Certainly this is a fairly simplified overview.
