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.

Distinguishing features

Magmatic process

Tectonic and plume settings

Hazard-generating

Occurs on multiple worlds

What it looks like

Erupting volcanoes, lava flows, ash plumes and volcanic rocks.

How it is recognised

Eruption of magma and gases

Volcanic landforms

Geysers are hydrothermal, not magmatic
