Hello Crysp,
A volcanic eruption is when a volcano spews lava, magma or other
substances from its crater, due to pressures building under it that
push out the magma. It can be gradual, like a lava flow from the
crater, or it could be violent, like and exploding or collapsing
volcano. The websites below could give you more information about the
