A volcano is a mountain or vent in Earth’s crust through which molten rock (magma), ash, and gases erupt onto the surface. A tsunami is a series of very large ocean waves caused by a sudden displacement of water, commonly from an undersea earthquake, landslide, or volcanic eruption. The key difference is that a volcano is a source of eruptive geologic activity, while a tsunami is a water-wave hazard that can be triggered by several types of sudden events. Volcanoes produce lava, ash, and gas, whereas tsunamis cause coastal flooding and strong, fast-moving currents.
