The Types of Volcanic Eruptions; A Volcanologist's Guide

Around the planet at any given moment, there are between 40 and 55 volcanoes actively erupting. Among these volcanoes, no two eruptions are alike.

This video will briefly discuss the 14 types of volcanic eruptions and what types of volcanoes most frequently produce them.
