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
Pelean lava is a type of volcanic lava that is characterized by its highly viscous and thick consistency, which results in the formation of steep-sided lava domes or volcanic plugs. Named after the 1902 eruption of Mount Pelée in Martinique, where this type of lava was prominently observed, Pelean lava typically flows slowly and can build up pressure, leading to explosive eruptions. Its high silica content contributes to its stickiness, making it distinct from other types of lava, such as basaltic lava, which flows more easily.
It is a cone volcano.
The type of volcano is the shield volcano. Shield volcanoes can be found in Hawai'i.

Pelean
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.

Pelean
A pyroclastic eruption, involving a viscous magma, typically of rhyolitic or andesitic type. An ignimbrite is the deposit of a pyroclastic density current, or pyroclastic flow.
