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/

There are effusive eruptions and explosive eruptions.
Six types of classification of volcanic eruptions in the Philippines are Hawaiian, Straombolian, Vulcanian, Plinian, Ultra-Plinian, and Phreatic. Plinian eruptions are explosive eruptions that produce a large ash cloud.
In one sense, you can divide volcanic eruptions into two general types: "red" eruptions and "gray" eruptions. "Red" eruptions are generally nonexplosive or mildly explosive. These eruptions produce flows or fountains of glowing red lava. The lava flows can be destructive, but they generally move slowly, so "red" eruptions rarely cause a significant loss of life. "Gray" eruptions ares explosive. They produce clouds of hot ash and rock. Some of these clouds race down the slopes of a volcano as pyroclastic flows, burning everything in their path. These flows along with other hazards make "gray" eruptions extremely dangerous.
