【Abstract】

What occurs to you, when we talk about volcanism?  Spectacular scene of volcanic eruption?  Disasters?  Tourism?  In order to understand volcanism, we focus on

(1) magmas: their generation, migration and eruption on the surface, and their properties,

(2) volcanic eruptions: causes, types, and phenomena.

(3) disaster mitigations and eruption predictions,

(4) blessings of volcanism: tourism, resources, its effect on the formation of earth and our homeland.  I hope you become interested in geology of your homeland, and history of planet Earth through the study of volcanism.
