It explains how high-viscosity lava leads to explosive eruptions, while low-viscosity lava flows create distinct formations. Key factors for predicting volcanic activity include seismic events near volcanoes, gas emissions, and ground deformation.

Eruptions result from melting mantle rock and vary based on magma composition, impacting the environment. They can be effusive or explosive, with supervolcanoes like Yellowstone posing significant threats.

It emphasizes their prevalence in convergent zones like the Pacific Ring of Fire, as well as divergent boundaries and hot spots like the Hawaiian Islands. The content covers fundamental concepts regarding volcanic formation, distribution, and the comparison of various volcanic types.

It discusses volcanoes as major landforms shaped by extrusive lava, and notes that magma can create intrusions when solidified underground. The page also covers geothermal features like hot springs and geysers, providing examples such as the Columbia Plateau and Old Faithful.
