volcanic arc: A usually arc-shaped chain of volcanoes located on the margin of the overriding plate at a convergent plate boundary
volcanic crater: a bowl-shaped opening at the top of a volcano
volcanic eruption: the sudden occurrence of a violent discharge of steam and volcanic material
volcanic glass: a kind of natural glass produced when molten lava cools very rapidly
volcanic glass: Natural glass produced by the cooling of molten lava too quickly to permit crystallization. Any glassy rock formed from lava or magma that has a chemical composition close to that of granite. Such molten material may reach very low temperatures without crystallizing, but its viscosity may become very high. Because high viscosity inhibits crystallization, the combination of sudden cooling and loss of volatiles, as when lava extrudes from a volcanic vent, tends to chill the material to a glass rather than crystallize it
volcanic neck: A column of igneous rock formed by congelation of lava in the conduit of a volcano and later exposed by the removal of surrounding rocks
volcanic rock: extrusive igneous rock solidified near or on the surface of the Earth
volcanic wind: A wind associated with a volcanic outburst and due to the eruption or to convection currents over hot lava
