Arenalby Clearly Ambiguous on Flickr

The word volcano is derived from the name of Vulcano, a volcanic island in the Aeolian Islands of Italy whose name in turn originates from Vulcan, the name of a god of fire in Roman mythology.[2] The study of volcanoes is called volcanology, sometimes spelled vulcanology.

Feel the Heat ? / Ritenete il Calore?by eye of einstein on Flickr

Lava refers both to molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption and the resulting rock after solidification and cooling. This molten rock is formed in the interior of some planets, including Earth.  When first erupted from a volcanic vent, lava is a liquid at temperatures from 700 °C to 1,200 °C (1,300 °F to 2,200 °F).

Manam Volcano, Papua New Guineaby NASA Goddard Photo and Video on Flickr

Manam, known locally as Manam Motu, is an island located in the Bismarck Sea near the coast of mainland Papua New Guinea.

Mt. Fuji (Fuji-san), Japanby kla4067 on Flickr

Mount Fuji is an attractive volcanic cone.

Volcanic cones
are among the simplest volcanic formations. They are built by ejects from a volcanic vent, piling up around the vent in the shape of a cone with a central crater. Volcanic cones are of different types, depending upon the nature and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.

Eruptionby tarotastic on Flickr

A phreatic eruption, occurs when rising magma makes contact with ground or surface water. The extreme temperature of the magma (1,112 to 2,138 °F) causes near-instantaneous evaporation to steam resulting in an explosion of steam, water, ash, rock.


Phreatic eruptions typically include steam and rock fragments; the inclusion of lava is unusual.

Mount St. Helens is most famous for its catastrophic eruption on May 18, 1980, which was the deadliest and most economically destructive volcanic event in the history of the United States. Fifty-eight people were killed; 250 homes, 47 bridges, 15 miles (24 km) of railways, and 185 miles (298 km) of highway were destroyed.
