Abstract
Volcanism, a major feature of a planet or satellite which is still alive and evolving, is currently known to happen and have happened on different bodies apart from Earth and in many different ways due to differences in planetary conditions. This work, pretends to analyze how the variation of parameters such as gravity and atmosphere, may affect the result of an eruption. In this order, three main scenarios that at a glance resume the volcanism through the Solar System (S.S.), have been identified: Terrestrial Volcanism (especially the explosive case), which is the starting point for this work; extraterrestrial silicate volcanism; and cryovolcanism. Using simulations (analogue and computer based) is pointed out as one of the best methods to obtain models of a possible eruptive result. This models can be compared with real data from the analyzed bodies to have a picture of the influence of the parameters.
