INDIAN GEOGRAPHY

Detailed explanation-1: -Inside an active volcano is a chamber in which molten rock, called magma, collects. Pressure builds up inside the magma chamber, causing the magma to move through channels in the rock and escape onto the planet’s surface. Once it flows onto the surface the magma is known as lava.

Detailed explanation-2: -Collectively, loose material thrown from a volcano is referred to as tephra. Individual fragments are referred to in general terms as pyroclasts, so sometimes tephra is also referred to as pyroclastic debris. Pyroclasts are classified according to size.

Detailed explanation-3: -A volcanic eruption is when lava and gas are released from a volcano-sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type of eruption is called a ‘glowing avalanche’ which is when freshly erupted magma flows down the sides of a volcano.
