Volcanology

Volcanology is the science of volcanoes — it studies the fiery processes deep inside the Earth that create mountains, send out lava flows, ash clouds and massive explosions. This field helps us understand how volcanoes form, what triggers eruptions, and how they can impact landscapes, climate and human life. In this category you’ll find accessible guides on eruption types, volcanic hazards, iconic volcanic regions and the geological stories behind them.
