erupted
An eruption happens when something suddenly bursts or comes out.
When we talk about volcanoes, an eruption means a big explosion of lava and ash. But eruptions can also happen in other situations - like when a volcano "erupts" on to social media because it's really popular! In science, an erupting star means that the outer layers are being released into space.
