What Makes Volcanoes Erupt?

Although there are several factors triggering a volcanic eruption, three predominate: the buoyancy of the magma, the pressure from the exsolved gases in the magma and the injection of a new batch of magma into an already filled magma chamber. … This lighter magma then rises toward the surface by virtue of its buoyancy.Nov 29, 1999

How does a volcano erupt?

Volcanoes erupt when molten rock called magma rises to the surface. … As the magma rises, bubbles of gas form inside it. Runny magma erupts through openings or vents in the earth’s crust before flowing onto its surface as lava. If magma is thick, gas bubbles cannot easily escape and pressure builds up as the magma rises.
