A volcanic landscape is an area which is dominated by volcanoes, created by volcanic activity, and shaped by volcanic activity over time. For example, in Iceland. Identify what a vent is. A vent is an opening in Earth's crust that allows magma, gas, and pyroclastic flows to escape to the surface.

Volcanic landforms on the Earth range are shapes and sizes from tiny scoria cones to enormous flood basalt or ignimbrite plateaux. Controls on the final volcanic landform include magma composition and volume, tectonic environment, nature of the crust, and posteruption erosion.

Volcanic environments can be good locations for farming. Volcanic deposits are enriched in elements such as magnesium and potassium. When volcanic rock and ash weathers, these elements are released, producing extremely fertile soils.

Volcanic landforms are categorised into two types: extrusive and intrusive landforms.
