Volcano
Strcuture
Cinder Cone
Shield
low viscosity
Flat
Hawaii
stratovolcano (Composite volcanoes)
Annotations:
Pyroclastic and lava are not emitted during the same eruption. Alternate between pyroclastic and lava flow.
Eruption
Effusive
More Mafic
Shield
Low Viscosity
Fountain(pressure is great)
Explosive
Coarse-grained Ash and Lapili
Close volcano
fine ash
Away volcano
types of Eruption
1.Fissure Eruption
Crack in the ground
basaltic lava with low viscosity
2.Hawaiian Eruption
Large scale
sustained flow
gentle eruption with low viscosity lava
3.Strombolian Eruption
short lived
built up air
more viscous and louder
no more danger
4.Vulcanian Eruption
cannon like explosion
subdued(减弱的) eruption
eruptive column reach 5-10km
produce a small quantity of tephra
5.Plinian Eruption
produced an eruption column like Vulanian
sustained like Hawaiian
felsic lava cools quickly and sold form like ash and pyroclastic debris
a large quantities of tephra, pumice and ash
Productions
Lava Flow
Annotations:
1. Viscosity divides the type of Lava Flow. 2. Silica controls viscosity
Basaltic(Mafic) Flow
Annotations:
Silica- poor less viscosity

Annotations:
1.Rhyolitic eruption 2. gas rich 3.ash
