Types of Eruption
• Quiet Eruption
• Explosive Eruption
• Fissure Flows
• Intermediate Eruption
![Page 4: Volcanoes Some Key Terms. Plate Tectonics Separating ASH CRATER LAVA SIDE VENT CRUST MAGMA CHAMBER](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062221/56649f135503460f94c2711e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Quiet Eruption
• Low pressure, lava pours out in steady stream and thinly, calm – often called Hawaiian – produces a shield cone - wide base, and
gentle, convex slope– gases emitted slowly

Explosive Eruption
• Great violence, often earthquakes or loud rumblings preceding the eruption
• Volcanic bombs (pyroclastics)
• Produces a cinder cone - narrow base, steep side
• Volcanoes not very high because material is loosely organized– e.g.Krakatoa 1883

Fissure Flows
• An open crack in solid surface produces a lava plateau or plain many kilometres wide– looks like a ribbon of magma/fire
• Produces a flood basalt "cone" or lava plateau

Fissure Flows
• When it erodes it "candles" like fresh water ice in hexagonal columns!!!– Ireland - Giant's

Intermediate Eruption
• Also called Strombolian - a combination of quiet and explosive eruptions
• A combination of lava and rock fragments in alternating layers (produces pyroclastics during explosive phase)
• Produces a composite cone or stratovolcano
