Volcanoes: Hot Crosswords on the Earth's Power

Volcano crosswords focus on the force hidden deep beneath the earth's crust that occasionally announces itself with an eruption, ash and glowing magma. The clues cover parts of a volcano such as the crater and the vent, volcanology terms, famous eruptions that changed the course of history, and scientists who study this force up close, at real risk to their own safety. This kind of puzzle suits students in geography class and anyone who watches volcano documentaries and wants to understand the terminology beyond simple curiosity. Some questions are simple and cover the basic structure of a volcano, others go into the details of specific eruptions and their consequences for the surrounding area. The topic continues the mountains section quite naturally, since many volcanoes also happen to be the highest peak in their region.
