A volcanic eruption is a geological event that occurs when there is an explosive release of material from a volcano. This process is characterized by the expulsion of molten rock (magma), ash, gases, and other volcanic materials from the earth’s interior to the surface. Eruptions can vary in intensity and duration, ranging from gentle lava flows to explosive blasts that can project ash and debris high into the atmosphere. The factors that influence the type and severity of an eruption include the composition of the magma, the amount of gas it contains, and the pressure within the magma chamber beneath the volcano. Volcanic eruptions can have significant impacts on the environment, ecosystems, and human populations, including the destruction of habitats, global climate effects, and hazards such as ashfall, lava flows, and pyroclastic flows.
