1. Lava flows: These are streams of molten rock that flow out of a volcano during an eruption and solidify as they cool, forming a hardened crust.

2. Volcanic ash and tephra: These are small fragments of volcanic rock and glass that are ejected into the air during an eruption and can fall to the ground as ash or tephra.

3. Volcanic bombs: These are large, rounded chunks of molten rock that are ejected from a volcano during an explosive eruption and can travel long distances before landing.

4. Pyroclastic flows: These are fast-moving, extremely hot clouds of gas, ash, and rock fragments that flow down the slopes of a volcano during an explosive eruption, destroying everything in their path.

5. Volcanic domes: These are rounded mounds of hardened lava that form when thick, viscous lava erupts from a volcano and piles up around the vent.

6. Volcanic cones: These are steep-sided mounds of volcanic material that form around a vent during an eruption, often consisting of layers of lava, ash, and tephra.

7. Calderas: These are large, bowl-shaped depressions that form when the roof of a magma chamber collapses during a volcanic eruption, creating a crater-like feature.
