Definitions:

Vesicles

Small cavities in volcanic rocks that were formed by gas bubbles during the solidification of the rock.

Caldera Eruption

A volcanic eruption characterized by the collapse of land following a massive explosion, leaving a large, basin-shaped depression.

Basaltic Lava

A type of lava that is low in silica and has a low viscosity, resulting in smooth flows; it originates from the rapid cooling of basaltic magma.

Felsic Lava

Lava that is high in silica content, typically resulting in lighter colored rocks, such as rhyolite, and is more viscous compared to mafic lava.
