How might volcanic eruption cause both slow changes and rapid changes landforms?

Volcanoes generally build themselves up relatively slowly over the course of thousands to millions of years from accumulations of ash and/or lava flows. Stratovolcanoes can also erupt explosively, blowing away large portions of themselves in minutes and sometimes even collapsing in on themselves. Pyroclastic flows from these eruptions can lay down thick deposits of tuff in minutes.

A land volcano covers and/or burns anything in the lava flows away.
