The key characteristics are ejection of large amount of pumice and very powerful continuous gas blast eruptions.he amount of magma erupted can be so large that the top of the volcano may collapse, resulting in a caldera. Fine ash can deposit over large areas. Plinian eruptions are often accompanied by loud noises, such as those generated by Krakatoa.
