The [[Taranis outpost]] on the planet [[Taranis]] used [[geothermal energy]] from a formerly dormant supervolcano to power its shield.

The [[Atlantis expedition]] came to Taranis to help most of the people escape, but the [[Stargate]] was buried in lava, and a massive dust cloud emerged from the volcano in a massive eruption, which rendered the planet uninhabitable for many years. {{Cite|Atlantis|Inferno}} |

A typical volcano on Tollan.
Volcanoes are an opening, or rupture, in a planet's surface or crust, which allows hot, molten rock, ash, and gases to escape from below the surface. Volcanic activity involving the extrusion of rock tends to form mountains or features like mountains over a period of time.
The planet Tollan had volcanoes, but the planet was evacuated due to massive volcanic activity. (SG1: "Enigma")
The Daedalus orbits a planet with an about to erupt volcano.
The Taranis outpost on the planet Taranis used geothermal energy from a formerly dormant supervolcano to power its shield. However, as more energy was drawn, the volcano became extremely active. The Atlantis expedition came to Taranis to help most of the people escape, but the Stargate was buried in lava, and a massive dust cloud emerged from the volcano in a massive eruption, which rendered the planet uninhabitable for many years. (SGA: "Inferno")
The Planet Novus is known to have an active supervolcano that has erupted in the past thirty years rendering the planet unhabitable, killing the entire population of Novus which was known to be well into the millions. Though before the eruption expeditions where send out to find other suitable planet, these people are the last known survivers of Novus. (SGU: "Common Descent")
