I like to get the basic science right in my writing, but the latest Star Trek movies prove you can get away with pretty much anything.
I think my favourite part was the beginning of Into Darkness when the crew has to use a "cold fusion" device to freeze a volcano (cold fusion has "cold" right in the title, so it must just freeze stuff, right?). Leaving that aside, a volcano with a frozen top would still build up pressure from magma, and the eventual eruption would be even worse.
