What is the different between phreatic volcanic eruption and a strombolian eruption?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
A Strombolian eruption is a type of magmatic eruption, meaning that molten rock actually erupts onto the surface. In a Stombolian eruption gasses trapped in the magma expand explosively, sending fountains of lava into the air. A phreatic eruption does not directly involve molten rock. Phreatic eruptions occur when water comes incontact with magma or hot rocks near magma and turns to steam, creating an explosion. Some ash may be ejected from these eruptions, but this is formed from the explosion blasting old rock rather than fresh magma.
