Caldera		A hole in Earth's surface through which magma, hot gases, ash, and rock fragments escape from deep inside the planet.
Aa		A dense wave of superheated air and rock that moves as a fluid from an erupting volcano
Volcano		Molten rock deep within Earth consists of liquids, gases, and particles of rocks and crystals.
Magma		Large circular depression formed when an empty magma chamber causes the collapse of the volcano above it.
Pahoehoe		An upwelling of heat from beneath Earth's crust; often refered to as a Mantle Plume
Lava		Magma at Earth's surface.
Pyroclastic Flow		lava flows that have a rough rubbly surface composed of broken lava blocks called clinkers
Hot Spot		lava that has a smooth, hummocky, or ropy surface
