Driven by buoyancy and gas pressure the molten rock，which is lighter than the surrounding solid rock，forces its way upward and may ultimately break through zones of weaknesses in the Earth’s crust.If so, an eruption begins，and the molten rock may pour from the vent as nonexplosive lava flows，or it may shoot violently into the air as dense clouds of lava rger fragments fall back around the vent5 ， and accumulations of fallback fragments may move downslope6 as ash flows under the force of gravity.Some of the finer ejected7 materials may be carried by the wind only to fall to the ground many miles away.The finest ash particles may be injected miles into the atmosphere and carried many times around the world by stratospheric winds before settling out.
