Experiment freely! Adjust the magma type, gas content, and vent structure to see what happens. Perfect for exploring and learning.
Can you create a specific volcano type? You'll be given a goal (like "Create a shield volcano") and need to figure out the right settings. Use hints if you get stuck!
Try to recreate the eruption style of a real volcano like Kฤซlauea or Mount St. Helens. Study the characteristics and use hints to match the correct settings!
Magma Type determines viscosity (thickness):
Gas Content affects explosiveness:
Vent Structure controls pressure:
Shield Volcano: Broad, gentle slopes built from runny lava (like Kฤซlauea in Hawaii)
Composite Volcano: Steep, tall mountains with explosive eruptions (like Mount St. Helens)
Cinder Cone: Small, steep hills built from lava fountains (like Parรญcutin in Mexico)
