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.
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.
