It depends on the kind of eruption. In a Hawaiian type eruption parts of the volcano are covered in red hot lava flows and there may be a fountain spewing lava hundreds of feet into the air. In a Strombolian eruption explosions create a firework-like display of airborne lava, which may form lava flows. Some ash may rise from the fountain of lava. In a Vulcanian eruption the volcano produces clouds of ash and sends blocks of rock and globs of lava out at high speeds. In a Pelean eruption the volcano is covered in large clouds of ash. In a Plinian eruption the volcano sends a vertical column of ash miles into the sky to spread out at high altitude. The volcano itself may be covered in clouds of ash.
