Discussion - Volcanoes

In Chapter 12, we examined how magma rises through Earth's crust, emerges onto its surface as lava, and cools into solid volcanic rock. We saw how plate tectonic processes and mantle convection explain volcanism at plate boundaries and at "hot spots" within plates. We saw how volcanoes interact with other components of the Earth system, particularly the hydrosphere and the atmosphere. Finally, we considered their destructive power as well as the potential benefits they can provide for human society.
