Volcanology

Volcanology is the scientific study of volcanoes and volcanic phenomena. It delves into how and why volcanoes erupt, what effects these eruptions have on the environment and human civilization, and how we may predict and mitigate these eruptions' impacts. Through exploring a volcano's activity, structure, and effects, volcanologists are better equipped to predict and respond to potential future eruptions. Overall, the field plays a crucial role in safeguarding human life and understanding Earth's geological processes.
