There are four different types of eruptions. There is the hawaiian eruption that is when the lava slowly goes down the volcano and gives birth too other flat volcanoes. There is the Pelene Eruption that is when the volcano spits out lava folowed by gaz’s and bombs. There is also the Strombolien eruption which erupts by spraying lava high into the air. Then finally the Piliene eruption is when the volcano fire lava into the air and also gaz’s and bombs.

The cratere of a volcano is where the lava comme’s out of. The centre chimney is in the middle of the volcano that is where the lava flows up.

The cone of the volcano (the mountain) is made out of laire’s of ash and dried lava from previous eruptions.
