    Plate tectonics
    Plate tectonics is a scientific theory that explains how
    major landforms are created as a result of Earth's
    subterranean movements. The theory, which solidified
    in the 1960s, transformed the earth sciences by
    explaining many phenomena, including mountain
    building events, volcanoes, and earthquakes.
    Lava, tephra (volcanic ash, lapilli, or bombs),
    Volcanic fragmented rock, and/or volcanic gases may be
    emitted. Vents may be located at the summit or
    features flanks of a volcano and may exist as elongated
    fissures.
    • Volcanic eruptions produce three types of
    Erupted materials: gas, lava, and fragmented debris
    called tephra.
    material
    • Definition: A volcanic eruption occurs when
    magma is released from a volcano. Volcanic
    Volcanic eruptions can be quite calm and effusive, or
    they can be explosive. Effusive eruptions
    activity produce lava flows, while explosive
    eruptions produce ash and pyroclastic density
    currents. Volcanic Eruption.
    • The Decade Volcanoes are 16 
    volcanoes identified by the 
    International Association of Volcanology
    and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior
     (IAVCEI) as being worthy of particular
    study in light of their history of large,
    Decade destructive eruptions and proximity to
    densely populated areas. The Decade
    volcanoes Volcanoes project encourages studies
    and public-awareness activities at these
    volcanoes, with the aim of achieving a
    better understanding of the volcanoes
    and the dangers they present, and thus
    being able to reduce the severity of 
    natural disasters.
    • Volcanoes spew hot, dangerous gases, ash,
    lava, and rock that are powerfully
    Effects of destructive. People have died from volcanic
    blasts. Volcanic eruptions can result in
    volcanoes additional threats to health, such as floods,
    mudslides, power outages, drinking water
    contamination, and wildfires.
    Volcanoes on • So far, we know volcanoes are found
    on Mercury, Venus, Earth, the Moon, Mars,
    other and Jupiter's moon, Io. Right now, active
    celestial volcanoes are only found on two of these
    bodies: Earth and Io. However, volcanoes
    bodies could be erupting on Venus or Jupiter's
    moon, Europa.
