- a large continuous extent of land
- a vent in the earth's crust through which lava, steam, ashes, etc., are expelled
- the process by which new oceanic crust forms when magma rises up and solidifies at the mid-ocean ridges. The newer crust pushes the older crust out to each side, which is why the age of the sea floor increases with distance away from the mid-ocean ridges.
