Abstract
Features formed by explosive magma–water or lava–water interaction (often termed phreatomagmatism or hydromagmatism, although only phreatomagmatism is used herein, e.g., rootless cone, maar, tuff cone); nonexplosive magma–water or lava–water interaction (e.g., basaltic ring structures, pillow lavas); magma–ice interaction (termed glaciovolcanism, e.g., tuya, tindar); or rapid vaporization of a hydrothermal system due to interaction of water with hot rock (phreatic activity, e.g., geysers, hydrothermal explosion craters).
