Volcanic Landforms Types of Volcanoes Volcanoes are classified by the types of eruption they produce. Broadly speaking, eruptions can be either effusive or explosive. Effusive eruptions are sometimes called quiet eruptions (if eruptions can be quiet!).ffusive Eruptions Effusive eruptions are those that create vast lava flows of low viscosity, fluid lava. Magma associated with effusive-type eruptions is relatively low in silica and thus easily flows up the vent and spreads across the surface. Moving across the land, these lava flows can take on two different forms.
