Résumé : | Understanding the physical behaviour of volcanoes is key to mitigating the hazards active volcanoes pose to ever-increasing populations living nearby. The processes involved in volcanic eruptions, from magma generation at depth to eruption and emplacement of deposits at the surface, are driven by a series of interlinked physical phenomena. To fully understand volcanic behaviour, volcanologists must employ a range of physics subdisciplines, including thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, solid mechanics, ballistics, and wave theory. |
