Volcanic Eruption

Volcanic eruption is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to deposition of magma

in the earth and flushed out by gas that has strong power. Volcanic eruption is one of
a very powerful disasters. Almost all of the volcanic activity relate to the zone of
active seismicity because it is directly connected with the plate boundary of the earth.

The volcanic eruption begins with the activity at plate boundary of the earth that
sustains a significant change in pressure and temperature. So, it can make the rock
material around it melted which we usually called as incandescent liquid or magma.
Magma formed through exreme hot temperature in the earth bowels. At a relative
depth, a very high temperature can make the entire material in the earth bowels
melted.

When these materials melted, it produces gas that will mixed with with the magma.
Magma that will be released by volcanic eruption formed at a depth of approximately
60 to 160 KM below the earth’s surface. Then the magma that contains gas will be
under the pressure of solid rocks that are around the crater. This pressure causes the
magma erupted and move out towards the earth’s surface.

The magma and the gas burst at the same time and create a hole which is called the
main hole. Most of the magma and other volcanic materials spurted through this
main hole. After the bursts stopped, the crater that resembles a bowl usually formed
at the top of the volcano. Meanwhile, the main hole is in the bottom of the crater.
