The most common type of volcanic eruption occurs when magma (the term for lava when it is below the Earth's surface) is released from a volcanic vent. Eruptions can be effusive, where lava flows like a thick, sticky liquid, or explosive, where fragmented lava explodes out of a vent.ere are some of the most common types of eruptions: In a Hawaiian eruption, fluid basaltic lava is thrown into the air in jets from a vent or line of vents (a fissure) at the summit or on the flank of a volcano.
There are four different types of volcanoes. A volcano is categorized both by formation and appearance. Different types of volcanoes also indicate the types of expected eruptions. The different types of volcanoes are: composite (or stratovolcanoes), shield, cinder cones and spatter cones.Throughout the world, one can see pictures of the four types of volcanoes, each type indicative of the active underground world we often view as static.ayers of rock and lava form composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes release lava and rock when they erupt. Identifying a type of volcano helps predict the kind of eruption to expect from it. The lava of a spatter cone volcano has a continuous flow. Lava, ash, and gases are ejected through a volcano vent.
