Vocabulary
Volatile and tumultuous
Hello there,
Please help me understand the difference between these words.
1. volatile: tending to be explosive.
EX. Byran and Rachel used to have great friendship, but they have started to fight more and more lately. It was sad to see a great friendship turns into volatile relation for both of them.
Will this sentence have the same meaning if I were to subsitute volatile with "out of control"?
2. tumultuous: agitation of mind and emotion.
EX. When John made a living situation to be very difficult for Sam to live in the same house. Everyone seems to agree that it was an act of tumultuous.
Thank you!

For volatile, can I use this word to describe the physical fight that gets out of control or a heat argument that turns violent?
For tulultuous, If I were to add more information to the original statement and say that John also want to Sam out of his property. That would be drama(making the living difficult) and agitation(intentionally want to kick out his roommate), yes?
