    This document provides information about different types of volcanic eruptions including: - Strombolian eruptions which consist of ejections of incandescent materials to heights of tens to hundreds of meters. - Phreatomagmatic eruptions which are driven by thermal contraction when magma comes into contact with water, causing violent interactions. - Plinian eruptions which are characterized by tall eruption columns reaching up to 20 km high with pyroclastic flows and ashfall as seen at Paricutin volcano.

    SCIENCE IX

    • IS A STREAM- DRIVEN
    ERUPTION AS THE HOT
    ROCKS COME IN
    CONTACT WITH WATER
    . IT IS SHORT-LIVED ,
    CHARACTERIZED BY ASH
    COLUMNS BUT MAY BE
    AN ONSET OF A
    LARGER ERUPTION.
    SHOWN ON THE RIGHT
    IS OUR TAAL VOLCANO
    IN BATANGAS.
    • IS A VIOLENT ERUPTION DUE TO THE
    CONTACT BETWEEN WATER AND
    MAGMA . AS A RESULT , A LARGE
    COLUMN OF VERY FINE ASH AND HIGH
    SPEED AND SIDEWAY EMISSION OF
    PYROCLASTICS CALLED BASE SURGES
    ARE OBSERVED.
    • A periodic weak to violent eruption characterized by
    fountain lava, just like Irazu Volcano in Costa Rica.

    • Strombolian eruptions are relatively mild blasts with a


    volcanic explosivity index of about 1 to 3. They are
    named for the Italian volcano
    Stromboli. Strombolianeruptions consist of ejection of
    incandescent cinder, lapilli, and lava bombs, to
    altitudes of tens to a few hundreds of metres.
    • Phreatomagmatic eruptions. ...
    They are driven from thermal
    contraction (as opposed to
    magmatic eruptions, which are
    driven by thermal expansion)
    of magma when it comes in
    contact with water. This
    temperature difference
    between the two causes violent
    water-lava interactions that
    make up the eruption.
    • A pyroclastic deposit located
    in the southern part ofthe Cráter
    Principal is associated
    for the first time with the 1723
    eruption at Irazú volcano. ... In
    fact,the transition
    from strombolian to phreatoma
    gmaticeruptions at the Cráter
    Principal was very rapid, as
    confirmed by the tephra
    deposits.
    • Paricutin volcano is also classified as a Cinder cone volcano.
    These are the most common volcanic landforms on Earth. ...
    Eruption from the volcano occurred continually from 1943 until
    1952. This means scientists (called volcanologists), were able to
    study the birth, activity and the death a volcano.
    • CHARACTERIZED BY TALL
    ERUPTION COLUMNS THAT
    REACH UP TO 20 KM HIGH
    WITH PYROCLASTIC FLOW
    AND ASHFALL TEPHRA LIKE
    THAT OF PARICUTIN
    VOLCANO IN MEXICO.
    • EXCESSIVELY
    EXPLOSIVE TYPE OF
    ERUPTION OF GAS
    AND
    PYROCLASTICS,
    JUST LIKE OUR
    PINATUBO
    VOLCANO IN
    ZAMBALES.
    • The eruption produced high-speed avalanches of hot ash and
    gas, giant mudflows, and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds of
    miles across. The impacts of the eruptioncontinue to this day. A
    huge cloud of volcanic ash and gas rises above MountPinatubo,
    Philippines, on June 12, 1991.
    • Even after more than 5 years, hazardous effects from the June
    15,1991, climactic eruption of MountPinatubo continue. ... The
    June 15, 1991, explosiveeruption of Mount Pinatubo,
    Philippines, was the second largest volcanic eruption of this
    century and by far the largest eruption to affect a densely
    populated area.
    • The Crater. A crater is a part of a
    volcano that ejects gases
    ,magma or lava.It is also
    connected to the vent The Vent. The
    Vent is the part of a volcano where
    it lets the magma flow up tp
    the crater and erupt.

    • To fully understand what happens


    when a volcano erupts, you need
    to know the main parts of a
    volcano.
    • Volcanic Activity. ...
    • Magma Chamber. ...
    • Main Vent. ...
    • Secondary Vent and Cone. ...
    • Crater.
    • A volcano is a hole in
    Earth's surface through
    which magma (called lava
    when it reaches Earth's
    surface), hot gases, ash,
    and rock fragments
    escape from deep inside
    the planet. The
    word volcano also is used
    to describe the cone of
    erupted material (lava
    and ash) that builds
    up around the opening.
    • The molten rock creates a
    main passageway called a
    central vent. As the magma
    rises, secondary vents
    develop. Those secondary
    ones are just smaller and
    branch from the main tube. At
    the top of the volcano, at its
    highest point, is a crater.
