Volatile Degassing causes Explosive Eruption.
Mechanism: Rapid exsolution and expansion of gases fragments the magma, driving an explosive eruption.
Structural role & consequence
Interpreted from the current atlas graph — what the connections mean, not just how many there are.
Directly enables 1 concept; following enables/causes relations, 3 concepts are downstream across 1 discipline.
structural · Follows only enables/causes dependency edges — not general relatedness.
Currently dark in the atlas: no key date stored · 2 of 2 of its relations lack claim-level evidence.
atlas representation · Describes the current Thinking OS representation, not the state of the world.
Structural neighbourhood: 2 → 10 → 13 concepts reachable within 3 hops.
structural · Structural reach — being reachable is not the same as being understood.
All 2 of its relationships stay within its own discipline — a field-specific concept in the current atlas.
structural · Structural graph analysis — not a claim of importance, causation or history.

Strengths & constraints
Constraints
- Evidence coverage currently thin in the atlas — few of its relationships carry claim-level evidence. atlas representation
- No dated history stored — the atlas records no key date for this concept. atlas representation
Conditions
- Read structurally — most of its relationships carry no external evidence yet, so claims here are graph-derived. structural
