Summary
Lava Fragmentation
refers to the process where
Molten lava
is broken into smaller pieces, typically due to
Rapid Cooling
or
Gas Expansion
, which is crucial in
Volcanic Eruptions
as it affects the explosivity and resultant
Volcanic ash distribution
. This phenomenon plays a significant role in shaping the
Volcanic landscape
and influencing the environmental and
Climate impacts of volcanic events
.
