1. Volcanism

   Volcanism, vulcanism or volcanicity is the phenomenon of eruption of molten rock (magma) onto the surface of the Earth or a solid-surface planet or moon, where lava, pyroclastics, and volcanic gases erupt through a break in the surface called a vent. It includes all phenomena resulting from and causing magma within the crust or mantle of the body, to rise through the crust and form volcanic rocks on the surface. Magmas, that reach the surface and solidify, form extrusive landforms.

1. volcanism

   Volcanism is the geological process whereby magma from a planet's interior rises through the crust and leads to volcanic eruptions on the surface. It's associated with features such as lava flows, volcanic ash, geysers, and hot springs. Volcanism is a key contributor to the development of the planet's atmosphere, oceans, and landforms. On Earth, areas of active volcanism are usually found at tectonic plate boundaries. This process also occurs on other planets and moons in our solar system.

Examples of volcanism in a Sentence

1. Brian Fields:

   Earth-based catastrophes such as large-scale volcanism and global warming can destroy the ozone layer, too, but evidence for those is inconclusive for the time interval in question.

2. Van Hinsbergen:

   Subduction, the plunging of one plate under the other, is the basic way in which mountain chains are formed, our research provided a large number of insights, also about volcanism and earthquakes, that we are already applying elsewhere. You can even predict, to a certain extent, what a given area will look like in the far future.

3. Kelsi Singer:

   There are still a lot of challenges for any organisms trying to survive there, they would still need some source of continual nutrients, and if the volcanism is episodic and thus the heat and water availability is variable, that is sometimes tough for organisms as well.

4. Ryan Zeigler:

   Understanding how volcanism works on other planets lets us understand how the whole solar system formed. So if we want to know how we went from a giant ball of dust to nine planets orbiting around the sun... this is how we're going to do it; studies like this, on rocks like this.

5. Li Chunlai:

   This work shows the extensive use of the Lunar Penetrating Radar could greatly improve our understanding of the history of lunar impact and volcanism and could shed new light on the comprehension of the geological evolution of the Moon's far side.
