volcanic mountain
Magma-spewing summit
A volcanic mountain is a mountain formed by volcanic activity—the accumulation of lava, ash, and other materials ejected from the earth.
Mount Fuji and Mount Vesuvius are volcanic mountains.
The term distinguishes these from mountains formed by tectonic uplift or erosion: The Hawaiian islands are volcanic mountains rising from the ocean floor.
