Volcanic and Geothermal Phenomena

General volcanic and geothermal topics rather than one named eruption, such as limnic eruptions, geysers, volcanoes as landforms, caldera systems and the optical haze after large eruptions. A topic belongs here when its cited article describes a volcanic or geothermal process or feature in general. It excludes named eruptions. These phenomena show how heat and gas from the Earth reach the surface and the air.
