Extrusion (volcanic cave) is a type of eruption peculiar to volcanoes with viscous lava . The protruding viscous lava is piled up above the mouth of the volcano in the form of domes, from which or near which from time to time with strong explosions gases are emitted, giving rise to scorching clouds.
