Summary
Explosive Volcanism
involves the
Violent fragmentation of magma
, resulting in eruptions that can eject ash, gas, and
Pyroclastic Material
far into the atmosphere and across
Extensive areas
. These eruptions are driven by
High gas contents
and
High viscosity magmas
, often leading to the formation of
Pyroclastic Flows
,
Ash plumes
, and sometimes
Climatic effects
on a
Global Scale
.
