	Volcanology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Volcanology (also spelled vulcanology) is the study of volcanoes, lava, magma and related geological phenomena.
		The term volcanology is derived from the Latin word vulcan, the Roman god of fire.
		Volcanologists frequently visit volcanoes, especially active ones, to observe volcanic eruptions, collect eruptive products including tephra (such as ash or pumice), rock and lava samples.
