Volcano ASCII art is popular in geology and earth science Discord servers, dramatic aesthetic communities on Tumblr, and science communication posts covering volcanic eruptions. The cone shape with eruption material at the top is the defining design. Large renders the lava and ash plume at the summit with the most drama. Medium captures the cone and eruption. Small reduces to the triangular cone with a short eruption mark above the peak.
