All the different types of eruptions are Fissure eruptions, Hawaiian eruptions, Strombolian eruptions,Vulcanian eruptions, Plinian eruptions, and Hydrovolcanic eruptions. Fissure eruptions are common on many flanks of volcanoes. The hawaiian eruption is the most calmest of all eruption types. Strombolian eruptions are called from the small volcano island called Stromboli. Vulcanian eruptions is the small italian island of Vulcano. The spectacularly explosive eruptions are associated with volative rich dacitic to rhyolitic.
