Wikipedia

Volcanism

Volcanism, vulcanism or volcanicity is the phenomenon of eruption of molten rock (magma) onto the surface of the Earth or a solid-surface planet or moon, where lava, pyroclastics, and volcanic gases erupt through a break in the surface called a vent. It includes all phenomena resulting from and causing magma within the crust or mantle of the body, to rise through the crust and form volcanic rocks on the surface. Magmas that reach the surface and solidify form extrusive landforms.

Examples of use of vulcanism
1. "By correlating these images with the Magellan data, we can tell whether vulcanism today is altering the landscape," said NASA planetary scientist Adriana Ocampo, the agency‘s liaison with Venus Express.
2. Some missions recorded higher levels than others, leading some to suspect they may have indirectly witnessed volcanic activity on the planet, since sulfur dioxide is a byproduct of vulcanism.
