Lava Domes - Lava domes, which may also be referred to as volcanic domes, are
common features in volcanic regions throughout the world. Lava domes can come in
many shapes and sizes, and while they may not be quite as spectacular as their explosive
or flowing counterparts, they are often still an awe inspiring sight to see. The purpose of
this page is to provide a brief introduction to lava domes, which will by no means be
entirely comprehensive. In fact, even today, there is still much unknown about lava
domes and what they can potentially reveal about volcanic systems.
