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 are the 3 types of volcanic eruption?

The three types of volcanic eruptions are explosive, effusive, and phreatic. Explosive eruptions involve violent ejection of ash, rock, and lava, while effusive eruptions entail a gentle flow of lava. Phreatic eruptions occur when magma interacts with water, causing steam-driven explosions.

In a strombolian eruption the percent of silica changes?

Silica content in strombolian eruptions is typically low (around 50-52%), as they are characterized by the eruption of basaltic magma. This type of magma has a lower silica content compared to other types such as andesitic or rhyolitic magmas, which are associated with different types of volcanic eruptions like explosive ones.


Is magma a explosive eruption and why?

Magma is not an eruption. Magma is a mixture of molten minerals and dissolved gas that is underground. All volcanic eruptions, apart from phreatic eruptions, involve magma.


Which of these volcanic eruption types is the most violent Plinian Hawaiian Fissure Strombolian?

The most violent type of volcanic eruption among those listed is the Plinian eruption. Plinian eruptions are characterized by high eruption columns, massive ash plumes, and volcanic explosivity index values of 4 or 5. These eruptions are named after Pliny the Younger, who described the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
