volcanism
Let an agent explain volcanism and its types, give volcanic hazard and safety guidance from official sources, report activity with sourced data, and describe volcanism on other worlds.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain volcanism and its types, give volcanic hazard and safety guidance from official sources, report activity with sourced data, and describe volcanism on other worlds.
The eruption of molten rock, ash and gases from the interior of a planet or moon onto its surface, forming volcanoes, lava flows and volcanic landscapes, driven by plate tectonics and mantle plumes on Earth and studied on the Moon, Mars, Venus and moons such as Io; volcanism shapes landscapes and climate and poses hazards managed by volcano observatories.
What it is for: Earth and planetary science and hazard management.
It can be explain how and why volcanism occurs; report current volcanic activity and alerts; give safety guidance; describe volcanism on other bodies.
