This term evokes a sense of dormant power and sudden, catastrophic release. It is often used to describe a geographical feature that is a ticking time bomb, creating a tension between a peaceful exterior and a violent interior. In a psychological or social sense, the word describes a buildup of suppressed emotion. When someone is described as a volcano, it suggests they have been bottling up anger or passion to the point where an explosive outburst is inevitable.

Countable when referring to the individual geological structures found across the globe.
