I'm afraid the verb emit is not often used to describe what a volcano does to lava either. We would say that the lava emits light or heat...
I think most verbs, except those describing the simplest actions, just can't have a visual definition, they don't make much sense without a subject and an object, so you'd have to add captions to the images for them to be understood.
Thank you for your response.
Actually, my videos include captions of course! And the verbal context is always "emitted light", I think the picture clearly shows that the lava is emitting light, that is why I would consider it as a visual referent to the verb "emit"? Correct me if I am wrong please?
