What is the different between phreatic volcanic eruption and a strombolian eruption?

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.


What were the causes of eyjafjallajokull eruption?

The eruption was most likely caused by the shifting of the north American plate & the European plate away from each other as they naturally do due to the convection currents under the earths mantle as they grow apart something needs to occur to plug the gap now often this is just lava seeps up from bellow ground where it is called magma & plugs the gap sometimes there is an eruption that happens this is usually characteristic of an earthquake happening before the eruption. +++ More accurately, although Europe and North America are drifting apart, they are because the Atlantic Ocean is widening across a constructive plate boundary. Iceland is part of the volcanic Mid-Atlantic Ridge forming along that fracture. I'm not sure what the last few clauses mean. Volcanic eruptions are often preceded by minor tremors as the magma approaches the surface and inflates the volcano. (Lava is erupted magma.)
