Of course, as we have already pointed out, fumaroles and solfataras may occur in the neighborhood of a volcano at different distances from its crater.
In the intervals between the eruptions, innumerable hot springs afford vent to the subterranean heat, and solfatarasdischarge copious streams of inflammable matter.

To this last is to be credited the terrible device of throwing converts into the solfataras at Unzen, and under him, also, the punishment of the "fosse" was resorted to.
In the interval between eruptions, innumerable hot springs afford vent to subterranean heat, and solfataras discharge copious streams of inflammable matter.
Many craters emit hot vapors in the intervals between eruptions, and solfataras evolve incessantly the same gases as volcanoes.
Solfataras are active during the intermediate, or so-called "dormant," periods which occur between acute volcanic eruptions.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "solfataras" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
