Remember this!
Solfataric and fumarolic are synonyms used to describe volcanic activity involving the emission of gases and steam. While they share similarities in their technical nature and association with volcanology, they differ in their focus, origin, usage, connotation, and frequency of use. Solfataric emphasizes the chemical processes and reactions that occur in volcanic environments, while fumarolic focuses on the physical emissions of gases and steam.
