volcano
volcano meaning
An erupting volcano. It stands for volcanic activity, eruptions and geological drama — and figuratively for a temper about to blow, or a situation that has been building pressure for a long time. Both readings are common, and the figurative one is genuinely apt: pressure builds unseen and then does not.
