Hydrothermal: This eruption is driven by the heat in the hyrdrothermal systems and pulverize surrounding rocks
Phreatic: Driven by the heat from magma interacting with water.
Phreatomagmatic: Caused from the interaction of new magma or lava and water; is very explosive.
Strombolian/Hawaiian: Least violent; Caused by movement of tectonic plates.
Vulcanian: Small to moderate, caused by the movement of tectonic plates.
Subplinian/Plinian: Very destructive, not very common. Caused by movement of tectonic plates.
