A '''volcanic eruption''' is a forceful explosion of volcanic material such as [[steam]], [[toxic environmentally harmful gas]]es, [[lava]] and rocks into the air. This often severely damages the [[environment]] [[local]] to the [[volcano]] and can cause loss of [[human]] life in [[local]] [[settlement]]s. '''volcanic eruptions''' are often caused by movement in the earth's [[tectonic plate]]s that allows [[magma]] to rise to the surfaces of the earths's [[crust]].
