Volcano: A peak on the Earth's crust — usually near or on the boundaries between continental plates — through which lava and gases have erupted. [e]
This article contains just a definition and optionally other subpages (such as a list of related articles), but no metadata. Create the metadata page if you want to expand this into a full article.
