18.1 Notes:
Hawaiian – Type Volcano
Describe:Weakest eruption; lava travels very slowly & far

Fissure EruptionDescribe:
When lava is released through surface fissures (cracks) instead of out of the central vent of a volcano.

Low-Viscosity Magma
Describe:The eruption is weak & can travel long distances
because pressure doesn’t build

High-Viscosity MagmaDescribe:
Pressure builds because the magma is not able to flow fast. This can produce violent eruptions.
Eruption Types

StrombolianDescribe:
Short explosions that shoot out a small amount of very thick lava, often producing cinder cones
Types of High-Viscosity Eruptions

VulcanianDescribe:
Small, Violent plumes of steam, ash, & gas up to 16km. Magma is thick, pasty, filled w/ gas.
Intermittent explosions as gas released. Often forms cinder cones.

PeleanDescribe:
Key components: glowing avalanche of hot gases, ash, & rock pour down at speeds greater than 160km/h.
Common for composite cone volcanoes.

PlinianDescribe:
Largest & most violent explosive eruptions large ejections of pumice & ash that can reach heights of
50km & spread to large areas downwind. Can affect weather!
MT St Helens for example
