Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Water is the major dissolved volatile constituent in both magmas and volcanic gases. It is the most abundant volatile component and plays a crucial role in determining the explosiveness and style of volcanic eruptions. Other dissolved volatiles may include carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, but they are typically present in much lower concentrations than water. Methane and nitrous oxide are not commonly found in magmas or volcanic gases.
