Introduction

Volcanism refers to the process in which internal rocks come out to lava on the surface of the earth.

Main Body

Major factors leading to the volcanism are:

1Shifting of the tectonic plates - converging and diverging plates leads to volcanism along major tectonic regions of the world. [Diagram: convergent plates and divergent plates with PFA arrows shown]

ii) Hot plumes - volcanic hotspots are formed when some areas are much warmer and lava flows out of them. (Eg) Yellowstone National Park USA

The major volcanic regions lie around the Ring of Fire - along the boundaries where Pacific plate meets the other land plates such as American plate, Eurasian plate. Indonesia is one of the most volcanically active country along with Philippines.

The divergent plates such as Mid-Atlantic Oceanic ridge shows some activity.

Conclusion

The volcanism offers opportunity to understand the interior of earth. They are also major source of precious natural s [materials]. Thus processes of volcanism is an important geological phenomenon.
