Volcanic Eruption

Volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to deposition of magma in the earth and
flushedout by gasthat has strong power. Volcanic eruption is one of a very powerful disasters. Almost all
the volcanic activity relate to the zone ofactive seismicity because it is directly connectedwith the plat
boundary of the earth.

The volcanic eruption begins with the activity at plate boundary of the earth that sustains a significant
change in pressure and temperature. So, it can make the rock material around it melted which we usually
called as incandescent liquid or magma. Magma formed through exreme hot temperature in the earth
bowels. At a relative depth, a very high temperature can make the entire material in the earth bowels
melted.

When these materials melted, it produces gas that will mixed with with the magma. Magma that will be
released by volcanic eruption formed at a depth of approximately 60 to 160 KM below the earth’s
surface. Then the magma that contains gas will be under the pressure of solid rocks that are around the
crater. This pressure causes the magma erupted and move out towards the earth’s surface.
