    fumaroles or smokers

    Explanation:

    Fumaroles: they are gaseous emissions from lavas in craters at more or less elevated temperatures. Its composition varies according to the temperature of the lavas, in such a way that it changes since the fumaroles appear until their extinction.

    Water flows in the form of steam continuously through the cracks of a volcano or volcanic surface because its temperature exceeds 100 °C.

    Groups of fumaroles

    - Dry fumaroles: They are those that come off the melting lava, in the vicinity of the crater. Its temperature is higher than 500oC. They are mainly composed of sodium, potassium and sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.

    - Acid fumaroles: with temperatures between 300oC and 400oC, they are constituted by a large amount of water vapor, with hydrochloric acid and sulphurous anhydride.

    - Alkaline fumaroles: Temperature close to 100oC, contain water vapor with hydrogen sulfide and ammonium chloride.
