Talk:Volcano

Is there first aid information about volcanism-related injuries?
Unless if there is no way how to treat such. - S L A Y T H E - (talk) 13:38, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

Suggested edit: Monogenetic/Polygenetic volcanoes
I suggest adding the following terminology


 * Polygenetic volcanoes are those that have more than one period of activity during their history. Those that become extinct after erupting exactly once are called monogenetic (meaning "one life").

It doesn't have to be exactly this sentence (you can reword it as you wish).

Related:


 * Category:Monogenetic volcanoes
 * Category:Polygenetic volcanoes
 * Monogenetic volcanic field
 * Polygenetic volcanic field

Reason: I want to add internal Wiki-links (double square brackets) that guide users to the definitions of "monogenetic volcano" and "polygenetic volcano". These terms are clearly defined in the category pages Category:Monogenetic volcanoes and Category:Polygenetic volcanoes but Wikipedia links to category pages are discouraged. I encountered these terms but had to leave Wikipedia article space to find clear definitions. This is the problem that I want this edit to solve.

I think this terminology would fit well in the "Volcanic activity" section. But perhaps someone can suggest a better section (or different article) to mention these terms?

 * I agree and will make sure this is added. I have already corrected incorrect implications of wording in safety section. I will also look at the unreferenced section on history of volcanology which seems irrelevant to this article ChaseKiwi (talk) 15:41, 11 November 2023 (UTC)

History of volcanology section
The heading is off topic. I have not added off topic template which was my first reaction as actually what is needed is a complete rewrite as a History of Volcanoes section with references to total misconceptions, before there was a science of volcanology.
