Easily erupting into anger or violence (8)

I believe the answer is:

volcanic

(Other definitions for volcanic that I've seen before include "Describing lava?" , "Relating to fissures which produce lava" , "Given to violent eruption like natural force" , "Relating to eruption in earth's surface" , "Liable to erupt" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
