Best Answer

Both the Pelean and Plinian eruptions are violent, and the Plinian (such as Vesuvius) are the most spectacular type. More specifically, there is a designation "ultra-Plinian" to describe highly explosive eruptions such as Kratatoa.

The type of eruption that is most violent is when lava, ash and other materials are hurled into the air.
