    This document provides an overview of volcanoes and the different types of volcanic eruptions. It defines a volcano and explains that there are two main categories of eruptions: magmatic eruptions and phreatomagmatic eruptions. Within magmatic eruptions there are five specific types described - Hawaiian, Strombolian, Vulcanian, Pelean and Plinian eruptions. Phreatomagmatic eruptions arise from interactions between water and magma and include Surtseyan, submarine and subglacial types. Phreatic eruptions are also discussed which are steam-blast eruptions caused by contact between hot rock and cold ground.
