5 stunning volcano eruptions

A volcano eruption is a powerful natural event where molten rock, ash, and gases are expelled from the Earth's crust. It typically begins with increased seismic activity and the release of pressure, leading to the eruption. During an eruption, lava flows can destroy everything in their path, while ash clouds can disrupt air travel and pose health risks. Volcanic eruptions can vary in scale from minor to catastrophic, impacting local landscapes and ecosystems, and even global climate patterns in some cases. Scientists monitor and study volcanoes to predict and mitigate the potential dangers they pose.
