The U.S. Geological Survey defines a volcano as a vent on Earth's surface, either
on land or on the seafloor, from which molten rock called magma, as well as ash and gases,
can erupt or ooze. Different types of volcanoes erupt in different ways,
with some erupting spectacularly and others, most notably Hawaii's shield
volcanoes, steadily oozing lava.
Most of Earth's volcanoes are located along the Pacific Ring of Fire, where many
of Earth's tectonic plates subduct beneath another plate.
