=== Volcanic gases === {{Main|Volcanic gas}} The concentrations of different [[volcanic gas]]es can vary considerably from one volcano to the next. [[Water vapour]] is typically the most abundant volcanic gas, followed by [[carbon dioxide]]<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Pedone|first1=M.|last2=Aiuppa|first2=A.|last3=Giudice|first3=G.|last4=Grassa|first4=F.|last5=Francofonte|first5=V.|last6=Bergsson|first6=B.|last7=Ilyinskaya|first7=E.|title=Tunable diode laser measurements of hydrothermal/volcanic CO2 and implications for the global CO2 budget|journal=Solid Earth|year=2014|volume=5|issue=2|pages=1209β1221|doi=10.5194/se-5-1209-2014|bibcode=2014SolE....5.1209P|doi-access=free}}</ref> and [[sulfur dioxide]]. Other principal volcanic gases include [[hydrogen sulfide]], [[hydrogen chloride]], and [[hydrogen fluoride]]. A large number of minor and trace gases are also found in volcanic emissions, for example [[hydrogen]], [[carbon monoxide]], [[halocarbon]]s, organic compounds, and [[Volatile (astrogeology)|volatile]] metal chlorides.
