🧪 Chamber Overpressure and Eruption Trigger Lab

Watch gas pressure build inside a magma chamber until it crosses an eruption threshold. Viscosity controls how easily gas escapes — fluid magma vents quietly, viscous magma traps gas and erupts explosively when the threshold is crossed.

⚙ Under the hood

This simulation allows users to explore the intricate processes driving volcanic eruptions by manipulating key parameters like magma temperature, viscosity, and gas content, observing how these factors influence eruption behavior and magma flow patterns.
