A '''verneshot''' (named after French author [[Jules Verne]]) is a hypothetical [[volcanic eruption]] event caused by the buildup of gas deep underneath a [[craton]]. Such an event may be forceful enough to launch an extreme amount of material from the [[crust (geology)|crust]] and [[mantle (geology)|mantle]] into a [[sub-orbital]] [[trajectory]], leading to significant further damage after the material crashes back down to the surface.
