What are the reasons that volcanism is primarily a constructive process? What will be an ideal response?
Volcanism also builds material up, including at the volcanoes themselves and at lava flows. Large
islands in the ocean, such as Hawaii, are constructed entirely of material from volcanic eruptions. New
seafloor is created by volcanic processes. Also, the early atmosphere and oceans were filled with gases
that came from the interior of the Earth, through the mechanism of volcanism
