    1. There are three common types of volcanic cones - shield volcanoes which form broad, low sloping structures from fluid lava flows, composite volcanoes which form steep sloped cones from layers of lava and ash, and cinder cones which are small and steep with a wide crater formed from ejected lava fragments and ash. 2. Volcanic eruptions can be categorized based on their level of explosiveness from less to more violent types - phreatic eruptions caused by steam blasts, strombolian eruptions characterized by mild explosions, vulcanian eruptions producing moderate explosions up to 20km high, and plinian eruptions forming very tall eruption columns

    Name: ______________________________________________ Grade & Section: ______________ Date: ______________

    I. Introduction:
    Volcanoes come in a variety of cone shapes and eruption types. There are three common volcanic cone shapes namely: shield,
    composite and cinder cones. On the other hand, there are five types of volcanic eruptions with different features: phreatic,
    phreatomagmatic, strombolian, vulcanian and plinian.
    What is a volcanic eruption?
    A volcanic eruption is an event that happens when magma, gases and other molten materials are discharged from the opening.
    Since volcanic eruptions are caused by magma expelled onto the earth’s surface, we must first identify the factors that affect the
    viscosity of the magma.
    Types of Volcanoes
    After a volcanic eruption, a cone-shaped structure may be produced. Its slope also changes. The following are the three (3)
    general types of volcanoes according to the shape of their cones:
    1. Shield volcanoes are formed by the pile-up of non- viscous lava that oozes out
    from the volcano. Since lava can flow freely, a broad, slightly domed structure
    is formed that resembles like a warrior’s shield. Mauna Loa Volcano in Hawaii
    is an example of this type.
    2. Composite volcanoes are formed due to alternating solidification of both lava
    and pyroclastic deposits which make it nearly a perfect sloped structure.
    Pyroclastic flows occur when these volcanoes erupt. Mount Saint Helens in
    Washington, Mt. Vesuvius in Italy and Mt. Mayon in the Philippines are
    examples of this type.
    3. Cinder cones are formed from alternating ejected lava fragments and ash. They
    have a steep slope, wide crater on top and are the most abundant of the three
    major volcano types. Although small, they are also destructive since they
    release high amounts of pyroclastic materials. Mt. Paricutin in Mexico which
    has erupted in 1943, Taal Volcano in Batangas are examples of this type.

    Types of Volcanic Eruptions


    Volcanoes erupt differently and not all of them are violent. Magma may explode from the vent, or it can flow out of the
    volcano. In addition to the top vent, magma and gas may escape through cracks and weak areas on the sides of the volcano. Aside
    from lava, pyroclastic flows, ash clouds and mudflows(lahar) can be extremely dangerous. The levels of silica and dissolved gases
    in the magma determine whether a volcano erupts explosively or not.
    a. Phreatic or hydrothermal – 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. Taal Volcano which erupted last January 12,
    2020, is an example of this type.

    b. Phreatomagmatic - a violent and explosive eruption resulting from the interaction of new
    magma or lava with water. It results to a large column of very fine ash, high-speed and
    sideway emission of pyroclastics.

    c. Strombolian - the least violent type of explosive eruption characterized by a fountain of


    lava fragments. Eruptions are weak to a little more violent which has thicker lava flows and
    small explosions.

    d. Vulcanian - small to moderate explosive eruptions characterized by tall columns that reach
    up to 20 km high with pyroclastic flow and ashfall tephra. They have larger explosions of
    rocks and ashes which rise in dark clouds lasting for seconds to minutes. Paricutin Volcano
    eruption in Mexico is an example of this type.

    e. Plinian - excessively explosive type of eruption of gas and pyroclastics like that of Mount
    Pinatubo eruption in 1991. The explosive eruptions, lasting for seconds to minutes have 20
    to 35 km tall gas, rock particles and ash columns.
