Vulcanicity refers to the processes and phenomena associated with the movement of magma from within the Earth's crust to the surface, resulting in volcanic activity. This can include the eruption of lava, ash, and gases from a volcano, as well as other related events such as volcanic earthquakes and the formation of volcanic landforms. Vulcanicity is a key aspect of plate tectonics and the Earth's geology, and plays a significant role in shaping the Earth's surface and influencing the environment.
