V-Basics

Readers who are new to volcano talk will hopefully find helpful links here for  explanations of common volcanic and geologic processes, like glossaries, videos, papers etc.

What do you want to know more about? You can go to one of the following pages:

GLOSSARIES

We have decided not to go on building a Glossary of most used terms here as this would amount to “rewrite” existing glossaries on the internet, with the additional task of finding out the best description of a term among many. So I will list a few links to good Glossaries available:

– USGS Photo Glossary of volcanic terms
– midju: Volcano Glossary
– http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/vsc/glossary/
– University of Wisconsin, Glossary of Volcanic Terms
– OSU, Volcano Term Definitions
