volcanic regions
Areas with eruptions
Volcanic regions are areas where volcanic activity occurs or has occurred, characterized by volcanoes, geothermal features, lava flows, and associated geological formations.
These regions often cluster along tectonic plate boundaries or over hotspots in the Earth's mantle: Iceland sits in one of the most active volcanic regions on Earth.
The term appears frequently in geology, tourism, and disaster preparedness contexts.
