Detailed explanation-1: -While the film was entertaining, the director took a number of liberties with scientific fact in order to heighten the suspense. While it is true that volcanoes do produce ash and lava, these two characteristics constitute the only authentic embodiments of volcanic activity that appear in the entire film.
Detailed explanation-2: -Incorrectly regarded as goofs Eruptions that produce lots of flowing lava don’t produce heavy ash fall. Eruptions that produce lots of flowing lava do sometimes produce heavy ash fall, depending on how much qualifies as heavy. The amount of ash fall in the movie is not inconsistent with the eruptions of lava.
Detailed explanation-3: -But there is nothing even a little bit real about Volcano, a movie that fudges everything from the geologic composition of Los Angeles to how volcanoes work. I was particularly bummed to find out that lava bombs, though an actual phenomenon, aren’t anywhere near as awesome and malevolent as they are in the movie.
Detailed explanation-4: -The volcanic inspiration for “Dante’s Peak” was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, which was used as a filming location for some scenes in the movie. “Dante’s Peak” is also strikingly similar to the 1981 movie “St. Helens, ” which portrays a slightly dramatized story about the real event.
