Mount Agung or Gunung Agung is a active volcano in Bali. This stratovolcano is the highest point on the island. It dominates the surrounding area influencing the climate. The clouds come from the west and Agung takes their water so that the west is lush and green and the east dry and barren. -> See whole entry

A series of eruptive fissures near Dalaffilla volcano at the northern end of the Erta Ale range (Danakil desert, Ethiopia), many of which have erupted voluminous basaltic lava flows, as recently as in Nov. 2008. -> See whole entry

Ambrym is a large basaltic volcano with a 12-km-wide caldera. It is not only one of the most active volcanoes of Vanuatu, but in the world. Its most active craters often contain small lava lakes. -> See whole entry

Literally translated, "the child of Krakatau", Anak Krakatau is the youngest island of the Krakatau volcanic archipel in the Sunda Strait. It was formed during new eruptions in 1927 when a new island appeared in the caldera left by the huge eruption of Krakatau volcano in 1883.

Andesite is a gray to black volcanic rock with between about 52 and 63 weight percent silica (SiO2). Andesites are typical for lava domes and stratovolcanoes. -> See whole entry

Arenal, a major tourist attraction in Costa Rica, is one of the most active volcanoes of Central America. Since a major eruption in 1968, it has been in near-continuous activity building a lava dome and displaying mild explosive activity from the summit crater.

Bentonite is an absorbent aluminium phyllosilicate generally impure clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite. -> See whole entry

Volcanic blocks are solidified rock fragments greater than 64 mm in diameter. Blocks commonly are ejected during explosive eruptions and consist of older pieces of the volcano's edifice, e.g. parts of the conduit, lava domes or older lava flows. -> See whole entry

Ejected fragments of fresh magma larger than 64 mm in diameter, often shaped aerodynamically during their flight. -> See whole entry
