Ring of Fire : is an area where a large number of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean
Lava:refers both to molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption and the resulting rock after solidification and cooling.
Magma:is a mixture of molten or semi-molten rock, volatiles and solids that is found beneath the surface of the Earth
Viscosity:of a fluid is a measure of its resistance to gradual deformation by shear stress or tensile stress.
Silica content: The higher the silica content, the more explosive the eruption silica has a high viscosity, which means it is thick and flows slowly.
