The largest and most violent of all explosive eruptions, Plinian eruptions send columns of pulverized rock, ash, and gases that rise miles into the atmosphere in a matter of minutes. Mount St. Helens in Washington state experienced a Plinian eruption following a major flank collapse in 1980. Photo by Austin Post, USGS, May 18, 1980.

Which is the most destructive a strombolian or a plinian?
Plinian eruptions are the most destructive. Strombolian eruptions are usually fairly small.
Is a vulcanian eruption more destructive than a plinian eruption?
No. Plinian eruptions are generally the most destructive. Vulcanian eruptions may be orders of magnitude smaller.
Why are the eruptions of stratovolcanoes usually more destructive than the eruptions of shield volcanoes?

Where do the most destructive volcanic eruptions occur?
At subduction zones due to the occurrence of very large thrust faults.
Put these eruptions types in order from most destructive to least destructive?
When eruption types are arranged from most destructive to least, it is in descending order.
What are the volcanic eruption types in order from the least destructive to most destructive?
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/

Why are some volcanic eruptions very destructive while others are not?
some volcanic eruptions are very destructive cause there would be no evidencethat it is going to erupt

What do only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature?
The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
What was the most destructive volcano eruption ever recorded?
The most destructive volcano of known history is eruption of Tambora volcano in Indonesia in 1815. The death toll of 100,000 is the highest of all recorded volcano eruptions.
