fumarole

listen to the pronunciation of fumarole
İngilizce - İngilizce
An opening in the crust of an astronomical body that emits steam and gases
A hole from which volcanic gases issue, usually lined with chemical deposits (such as sulphur)
A vent or hole in the Earth's surface, usually in a volcanic region, from which steam, gaseous vapors, or hot gases issue
A hole or spot in a volcanic or other region, from which fumes issue
{i} volcanic crater through which gases escape
A vent that releases volcanic gases and steam
Vent from which volcanic vapours issue. Fumaroles, like geysers, are caused by hot springs, which disperse groundwater from the upper parts of the Earth's crust after it has been heated by magma. As magma begins to solidify, the gases in it, mostly water vapour, become concentrated by the pressure of the remaining liquid. When the pressure becomes high enough, the liquid is forced into cracks in the surrounding rock. A fumarole forms if a crack extends to the surface
A volcanic vent that emits hydrogen sulfide or other gases
A steam vent A fumarole is related to a hot spring but the temperature is so high and the water supply so limited that all water is emitted as steam and no pool is able to form
A vent from which steam or gases issue; a geyser or spring that emits gases
A vent or opening through which issue steam, hydrogen sulfide, or other gases The craters of many dormant volcanoes contain active fumaroles
a small vent from which gasses may emerge (but no lava, other than possibly a light spray)
A natural vent from which fumes or vapors are emitted, such as the geysers and hot springs characteristic of volcanic areas
A vent or hole in or near a volcano from which hot gasses issue
A vent that releases volcanic gases, including water vapor (steam)
