Poison Gas Emission. The principal components of volcanic gases are water vapor (H 2 O), carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), sulfur either as sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) (high-temperature volcanic gases) or hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) (low-temperature volcanic gases), nitrogen, argon, helium<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, neon<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, methane<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, carbon monoxide<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> and hydrogen<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">. Other compounds<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> detected in volcanic gases are oxygen<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> (meteoric), hydrogen chloride<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, hydrogen fluoride<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, hydrogen bromide<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, nitrogen oxide<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> (NO <sub style="line-height:1em;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;">x <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">), sulfur hexafluoride<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, carbonyl sulfide<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, and organic compounds<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">. Exotic trace compounds include methylmercury<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, halocarbons<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> (including CFCs<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">), and halogenoxide<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> radicals<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">.

Volcanic Ash Manipulation: Volcanic ash<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> consists of fragments of pulverized rock, minerals<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> and volcanic glass<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">, created during volcanic eruptions, less than 2 mm (0.079 in) in diameter. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">Volcanic ash can cause disruption to electric power supply systems at all levels of power generation, transformation, transmission and distribution. <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> It can stop planes and vehicles by clogging the engines and air intacts. It can reduce communication signal strength. As falling ash it crushes buildings with it's weight and mixes with the moisture in lungs to form a cement-like substance. It's also a cancer-causing substance (Carninogen)

Nutrient Generation: When Magma/Lava is exposed to water it creates nutrients which feed plankton, which in turn nurishes the rest of the planet.

There are also various forms of Lava:

 ʻAʻā<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;"> - loose, broken, sharp, and sounds like broken glass when stepped on.

 Pāhoehoe - s<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;line-height:19px;">mooth, billowy, undulating, or ropy surface.
