Editor's Note
Spectacular
eruptions of volcanoes make the news, change lives and capture our
imagination. These events are manifestations at the earth's
surface of deeply rooted processes driven by the earth's internal heat
engine. Vic Camp's How Volcanoes Work, may be one of the best
online learning resources dealing with any earth process. It's
inclusion here offers the reader an opportunity to learn a great deal
about volcanism and the earth system.
