a ‘steam blast’ eruption that

occurs when steam is produce
from the contact of cold ground-
water with hot rock or magma.

What is volcanic eruption ?
 What is volcanic eruption ?

Volcanic eruption happens when

magma, gases and other molten
materials are discharged from the
opening.
What are the factors that
affect the viscosity of the
magma?
 What are the factors that affect the
viscosity of the magma?

Chemical composition

Amount of gases dissolve

Temperature
Chemical composition
Magma with high silica content is more viscous
than those with low silica content. It is too
viscous so it does not travel far, and tends to
break up as it flows. The magma that contains
less silica is relatively fluid, so it travels far
before solidifying.
 What are the factors that affect the
viscosity of the magma?

Chemical composition

Amount of gases dissolve

Temperature
Amount of gases dissolve
When magma has high amount of gas (mainly water
vapor), magma with low amount of gas lava flow is
less viscous and increases its ability to flow. Magma
has high viscosity when it columnar dome has low
amount of gas as it rises. The ability of the lava to
flow decreases, so it piles up at a vent resulting into a
columnar or a dome.
 What are the factors that affect the
viscosity of the magma?

Chemical composition

Amount of gases dissolve

Temperature
 Temperature
The higher the temperature of magma, the
lower is its viscosity. As lava flows, it travels
far before it begins to magma with high
temperature harden. On the other hand, if
the temperature of magma islower, the higher
is its viscosity so the lava does not travel far.
Types of volcanic eruption
Phreatic or hydrothermal Hawaiian Strombolian

Vulcanian Pelean Plinian

 Phreatic or hydrothermal
It is a steam-blast small
eruption as hot rocks heat
the ground water or
surface water. This
eruption tears down
surrounding rocks and can
produce ash columns, but
do not include new magma.

Their eruptions
are non-explosive
eruptions of gusher-
like lava fountains that
generate red-hot lava
rivers of very fluid
basaltic lavas.

are moderately explosive
eruptions of basaltic

It is extremely explosive
eruptions, it produce ash
