According to their scenario, some of the molten rock from the subterranean cauldron of magma under the mountain will slowly be forced upward, like toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube. It will push through the vents in the "plug" of debris within the volcano's throat and emerge as lava. When it is finally exposed to the air, the lava will harden rapidly; it will probably not have enough volume or velocity to overflow the volcano's rim. Instead, as it solidifies, it will likely form a dome or cap over the vents. Eventually the dome should...
