What are the different types of volcanic eruptions?

all volcanoes explode, but not always in the same way. There are seven types of volcanic eruptions: Strombolian, Vulkanian, Pelean, Hawaiian, Phreatic, Plinian and Subglacial.

Strombol eruption, named after Stromboli in Sicily, consists of large balls of magma thrown tens up to hundreds of meters in the air until they fall to the ground and produce short viscous streams of lava. Strombol volcanic eruptions are caused by the accumulation of bubbles called gas slugs that rise rapidly to the surface and emerge by throwing many tons of magma into the air. Strombol eruptions have low or medium intensity. Vulcan eruptions are often accompanied by phreatic or steam-balanst eruptions caused when red magma comes to a constant with groundwater and immediately turns it into steam. In Vulcanian eruptions, a large cloud of volcanic ash in the sky above the volcano, with white steaming ashes form the highest part of the smoke column. Volcanic volcanic eruptions usually do not throw into the airMany magma.

Peléan eruption, also called "Glowing Cloud" eruption, are named after Mt. Pelée in the Caribbean. Peléan eruptions are characterized by sudden explosions of gas, dust, ash and lava fragments, which are raining on kilometers in the area of ​​the entire pyroclastic avalanche. When Peléan eruption occurs in the inhabited area, it can cause many deaths. Peléan volcanic eruptions are often accompanied by creating a lava dome.

Hawaiian eruptions are named after the eruptions of the Mauna Loa volcano in the Hawaiian Islands. This is one of the most comfortable eruptions and can take many years. They consist of a large amount of lava with low viscosity, which pours the Volcan slope and produces very small volcanic ash or gas. The Hawaiian eruption is safe enough to see close, and many tours from helicopters in Hawaii offer tours actively volcanic Mauna Loa. During geological time they produce HavaYou are very large mountains, as is the case with the island of Hawaii - if measured from the ocean bottom, Mauna Loa can be considered the highest mountain on earth.

phreatic eruption, also known as steam eruption, are named after a word that means "well" or "spring" in Greek, and refers to the contact of overheated magma with the groundwater. Photitic eruptions result in an explosion of steam, water, ash, rocks and volcanic bombs, and it was known to kill hundreds of people, mostly to release poisonous gases such as carbon dioxide or sulphide. The first causes only asphyxiation, while the second is actually active poison, killing plants and animals.

Plinian eruptions, NAPPO PLINY is younger whose uncle was killed at Plinov eruption Mt. Vesuvius in 79 NL, the most serious and extreme volcanic eruptions. They consist of an extremely high ash column and Magmy, which fired until the stratosphere (> 11 km, 6.8 mi). This column extends on top and pIt reminds of stone pine. It is known that volcanic volcanic eruptions distribute dust over areas of hundreds of kilometers and are often accompanied by very loud explosive sounds that can be heard from thousands of kilometers away. Sometimes Plinov eruptions throw away so much magma that the volcano summit collapses and creates a calder.

subglacial volcanic eruptions appear when the volcano explodes under the ice layer, which is usually more than a kilometer deep. In modern history, only five subglacial eruptions have been recorded and only the most serious are able to actually melt the entire ice cap above.
