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.
Plinian eruptions are generally the most destructive.
Plinian is the worst type of volcanic eruption. It launches lava, ash and other materials into the air.

A vulcanologist is most likely to study the cooling of lava after a volcanic eruption
It is a volcanic caldera which is a large, bowl-shaped volcanic depression that forms when the top of a volcanic cone collapses into the space left after magma is ejected during a violent volcanic eruption.

Pelean
The eruption of Mount Mazama that formed Crater Lake was a caldera forming eruption. This is the most violent type of volcanic eruption.

The Yellowstone Caldera was formed by an Ultra Plinian eruption. Ultra Plinian is the most violent type of volcanic eruption with enormous columns of ash and gas shooting twenty or more miles into the sky and releasing many cubic kilometers of ash.
