👉 Erupts is a scientific term used in meteorology and geology to describe an explosion or eruption of volcanic material. It refers to the release of molten rock, ash, gas, or liquid from a volcano, which can cause significant damage and destruction to surrounding areas. Eruptions are typically caused by the sudden release of magma from the volcano's interior, where it is heated and compressed into a massive solid rock, resulting in the formation of an explosive eruption.
