• Icelandic eruptions - non explosive and relatively slow since its cold
• Hawaiian eruptions - eruption of basaltic lava, it forms shield volcanoes
• Surtseyan eruptions - characterized by the interaction between magma and water
• Strombolian eruptions - characterized by frequent, small explosions that eject cinders, ash, and blobs of molten lava into the air.
• Pelean eruption - the volcanic vent can become blocked by viscous magma, extremely FAST pyroclastic flow
• Plinian eruptions - the most explosive type of volcanic eruption.
• Vulcanian eruptions - characterized by the ejection of large amounts of ash, gas, and rock fragments into the air.
• Volcanic eruptions - occur when magma rises to the surface
• Crater - This is a bowl-shaped depression at the top of the volcano that forms when the summit collapses after an eruption.
• Magma Chamber - This is a large underground cavity or reservoir where molten rock (magma) is stored before it erupts.
• Conduit - This is a long, narrow channel that connects the magma chamber to the surface of the volcano. Magma rises through it.
• Fumarole - This is a vent on the surface of the volcano that emits steam, gas, and other volcanic gases.
• Shield volcano - These volcanoes have a broad, gently sloping cone shape, similar to a warrior ' s shield laid on the ground. Found in Hawaii.
• Stratovolcanoes - These are tall, steep-sided volcanoes with a classic, cone-shaped appearance. They are formed by alternating layers of lava, ash, and other volcanic debris.
• Cinder Cones - These are small, steep-sided volcanoes made up of loose, pyroclastic material such as ash, cinders, and volcanic bombs.
