Types of volcanic eruptions

An international team of scientists has discovered that a 726 AD eruption of the Santorini volcano was a lot bigger than initially estimated, pointing to an "elevated hazard potential."

Icelandic police declared a state of emergency Saturday as lava spewed from a new volcanic fissure on the Reykjanes peninsula, the fourth eruption to hit the area since December.

Evidence of a previously unknown underwater eruption, one of the largest in the southern Aegean volcanic arc and older than the one that wiped out the Minoan civilization, has been discovered by a multinational team of scientists on the island of Santorini.

The eruption could primarily cause major damage to local infrastructure and the release of toxic fumes, writes the BBC.
Since the end of October, the southwestern region surrounding the Icelandic capital Reykjavik has been rocked by thousands of earthquakes.

As stated, the eruption took place in the southeastern crater of the volcano, and the height of the eruptive column is estimated at about 4.5 thousand meters above sea level.
The current phase of Etna's eruption does not affect the operation of the airport in the Sicilian city of Catania.
Etna is the highest active volcano in Europe.

An Icelandic town near the capital Reykjavik and home to some 4,000 people was evacuated overnight after hundreds of tremors caused fears of a volcanic eruption, authorities said Saturday.

Researchers believe that huge, continent-spanning ‘flood basalt’ eruptions are what caused the mass extinction – and others in Earth’s history

Tonga's volcanic eruption felt like an "atomic bomb" that shook "the whole island", an aid worker told AFP on Jan.21, as the Pacific nation raced to address a drinking water shortage.

Almost a week after the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano exploded, unleashing a tsunami and cutting Tonga off from the rest of the world, witnesses are recounting the disaster.

Here’s what scientists know about the Tonga volcano eruption

They come with eagle-eyed drones and high-precision instruments. Aided by satellites, they analyze gas emissions and the flows of molten rock. On the ground, they collect everything from the tiniest particles to "lava bombs" the size of watermelons that one of nature's most powerful forces hurl as incandescent projectiles.
