The study of volcanoes, or Volcanology, includes many odd terms. How many of these do you know?
The term nuée ardente, or "glowing cloud" was first used by La Croix (1904) in his description of the volcanic flows he observed in the 1902 eruption of Mt Pelée, a historically active volcano on the island of Martinique.
