An effusiveeruption is a type of volcanic eruption in which lava steadily flows out of a volcano onto the ground. There are two major groupings of eruptions:...
generally be characterized as either explosive eruptions, sudden ejections of rock and ash, or effusiveeruptions, relatively gentle outpourings of lava. A...
is a list of volcanic eruptions in the 21st century with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 4 or higher, and smaller eruptions that resulted in fatalities...
eruptions There are two types of eruptions in terms of activity, explosive eruptions and effusiveeruptions. Explosive eruptions are characterized by gas-driven...
iconic and active volcanoes in the world; its eruptions–including both effusive and explosive eruptions from flank and central vents–have been recorded...
eruption and 1,000 homes were destroyed. According to a Virunga National Park official, the eruption of Mount Nyiragongo is similar to the eruption in...
subsurface cryomagma. Cryovolcanic eruptions can take many forms, such as fissure and curtain eruptions, effusive cryolava flows, and large-scale resurfacing...

Fagradalsfjall mountain. The 2021 eruption was effusive and continued emitting fresh lava sporadically until 18 September 2021. The eruption was unique among the volcanoes...
because it is characteristic of Hawaiian volcanoes. Typically they are effusiveeruptions, with basaltic magmas of low viscosity, low content of gases, and...
Hawaiian or effusiveeruption type rather than more explosive phreatic or Plinian eruptions, though it has it produced explosive eruptions between 300...

but lava flows do occur at times when volcanic activity is high: an effusiveeruption occurred in 2002, the first in 17 years, and again in 2003, 2007,...
signifying "increased tendency towards a hazardous eruption", and that an effusive magmatic eruption was taking place. An incandescent rockfall was recorded...

lava. A lava flow is an outpouring of lava during an effusiveeruption. (An explosive eruption, by contrast, produces a mixture of volcanic ash and other...
individual vents often began with explosive eruptions that formed mounds, before effusiveeruptions (eruptions characterized by the production of lava flows)...
stratovolcanoes (e.g. Mount St Helens), formed by explosive eruptions of tephra alternating with effusiveeruptions of lava flows. Lavas at the Ring of Fire's stratovolcanoes...
Plinian eruptions or Vesuvian eruptions are volcanic eruptions marked by their similarity to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which destroyed...
A limnic eruption, also known as a lake overturn, is a very rare type of natural disaster in which dissolved carbon dioxide (CO2) suddenly erupts from...
eruption is effusive. This has been seen in Hawaii. With increased depth there is greater pressure and it is believed that this results in effusive eruptions...
