A volcano is a type of land formation created when lava solidifies into rock. Volcanoes have been an important part of human society for centuries, though their understanding has greatly increased as our understanding of plate tectonics has made them less mysterious. This section describes volcano location, type, hazards, and monitoring.

Common to all volcanoes is a magma chamber . The magma chamber is a huge, subterranean volume of molten rock that is less dense than the surrounding rock and rises buoyantly, sometimes under great pressure to the surface.

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.
