Volcanic Eruptions

Explosive events where molten rock (magma), ash, and gases are ejected from a volcano's vent, impacting the surrounding environment and climate.

Landslides

The movement of rock, earth, or debris down a slope due to gravity, often precipitated by factors like water saturation, erosion, or earthquakes.

Magma Movement

The flow or migration of magma through the Earth's crust, which can lead to volcanic eruptions when it reaches the surface.
