Pelean eruptions are most commonly seen at stratovolcanoes, which can also be called composite volcanoes.
The most important characteristic of a Pelean eruption is the presence of a glowing avalanche of hot volcanic ash - or a pyoclastic flow. Gas, dust and lava fragments are blown out of a volcano's central crater. This travels down the side of the volcano at speeds in excess of 150 kilometers per hour

Pelean can have two meanings. In Spanish it translates as "they fight." Pelean is also a kind of volcanic eruption that features large avalanches of superheated ash, rock, and gas called pyroclastic flows.
