It faced resistance but established new denominations.
This document provides information about volcanoes in three main sections:
1) It describes the internal structure of volcanoes, including the core, mantle, and crust.
2) It explains the relationship between plate tectonics and volcanic activity at plate boundaries like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.
3) It outlines different types of volcanic eruptions based on factors like the viscosity and gas content of the magma, including Hawaiian, Plinian, Strombolian, and hydrovolcanic eruptions.
