The most destructive to least destructive kinds of eruptions are as follows:
Most to least
Plinian, Pelean, Vulcanian, Fissure
Plinain eruption. The largest and most violent of all explosive eruptions, Plinian eruptions send columns of pulverized rock, ash, and gases that rise miles into the atmosphere in a matter of minutes. Mount St. Helens in Washington state experienced a Plinian eruption following a major flank collapse in 1980. Photo by Austin Post, USGS, May 18, 1980.
The Cinder Cone Volcano is the least destructive and the most common.
There are four main types of eruptions around the world. These eruption types from most to least destructive include Plinian, Pelean, Strombolian, and then Hawaiian.
plinian, vulcanian, stromboliam, fissure
1.plinian 2.pelean 3.vulcanian 4.fissure
Plinian eruptions are the most destructive. Strombolian eruptions are usually fairly small.
No. Plinian eruptions are generally the most destructive. Vulcanian eruptions may be orders of magnitude smaller.

At subduction zones due to the occurrence of very large thrust faults.
When eruption types are arranged from most destructive to least, it is in descending order.
Hawaiian eruptions are the least severe. It is a 0 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index VEI scale.Strombolian eruptions are relatively mildly explosive 1-2 on the VEI scale.Vulcanian eruptions are 2-3 on the VEI scale.Peléan eruptions are 4-5 on the VEI scale.Plinian eruptions are the most destructive. They are from 6-8 on the VEI scale.http://ete.cet.edu/gcc/?/volcanoes_explosivity/

some volcanic eruptions are very destructive cause there would be no evidencethat it is going to erupt

The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
The most destructive volcano of known history is eruption of Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815. The death toll of 100,000 is the highest of all recorded volcano eruptions.
