'Vulcanity' is also known as 'volcanism' or 'volcanic activity'.
Examples of volcanic activity are:
- Cracks or fractures appear
- Gases like sulphur, hyrdrogen and carbon dioxide are detected
- Pyroclast (like solidified lava)

What is associated with the process of subduction?
Vulcanism and Orogeny
How were earth's landmasses formed?
Some by plate tectonics, some by vulcanism, but above all else, the very young, cooling earth was all land mass. The oceans came later, as part of the planet's evolution.
What is the difference between volcanism at a hotspot and volcanism at mid-ocean ridge?
At a hotspot, a plume of hot magma comes up through the mantle, causing vulcanism. At a mid-oceanic ridge, two plates move away from eachother, leaving space that is filled by magma. Hotspots and mid-oceanic ridges can exist together at the same place, Iceland being a prime example of this. However, Hawaii, which is also a hotspot place, is nowhere near plate boundaries, so it's not a place where you would normally expect vulcanism.
Explain how minerals started out on earth?
Minerals on Earth first formed from the crystallization of rock from magma. As the Earth has evolved from collisions, vulcanism, plate tectonics, weather, and life processes which altered the atmosphere, the number of minerals present in the Earth has gradually increased to over 4,000 identifiable kinds.

Erosion
Why are earthquakes near volcanoes?
Because the same rifts in the mantle that bring magma to the surface (vulcanism) also cause plate shifts (earthquakes). Such an area is called "seismically active".
Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?
Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.
What Roman god are volcanoes named after?
Volcanism (vulcanism) is named for the Roman god of fire and the hearth, Vulcan. In Greek mythology, he was called Hephaestus.
