What italian word did volcano came from?

What does vulcano mean?

It is a vent, hill, or mountain that erupts, releasing molten rocks, rock fragments, and gaseous materials onto Earth's surface

It is where magma passes through from the magma chamber to reach Earth's surface

This is a large reservoir that stores molten rock (magma) prior to eruption

It is a bowl-shaped depression produced by volcanic activity and explosion

This is the stream of molten rock flowing out of the crater

This is an alternative smaller outlet where magma escapes to reach Earth's surface

This is formed when lava and ashes escape from smaller vents; it is also known as a parasitic cones

It is formed when thick volcanic ashes are discharged into the atmosphere caused by violent explosion or eruption of the volcano

It is a mixture of rocks, minerals, and glass particles expelled during a volcanic eruption

These volcanoes are formed from pyroclastic fragments and volcanic ashes that form and solidify around the main vent to form a cone, which can be either circular or oval

These volcanoes are typically symmetrical cones that are steep and may rise as high as 2 400 meters from the ground.

These volcanoes are usually dormant for many years that they can be considered extinct

These volcanoes are formed from non-acidic basaltic lava flows of high viscosity producing broad sloping sides and shield-like structures
