Claim: There are various types of volcanic eruptions which are distinguished by volcanologists and are often named after famous volcanoes wherein one of which is the Strombolian eruption—driven by the bursting of gas bubbles within the magma which grow large enough to rise yet still weak enough to cause destruction and harm.
Evidence: There are three different types of eruptions. Several types of volcanic eruptions—during which lava, tephra (ash, lapilli, volcanic bombs and volcanic blocks), and assorted gases are expelled from a volcanic vent or fissure—have been distinguished by volcanologists. These are often named after famous volcanoes where that type of behavior has been observed. Strombolian eruptions are a type of volcanic eruption named after the volcano Stromboli, which has been erupting nearly continuously for centuries. Strombolian eruptions are driven by the bursting of gas bubbles within the magma. These grow large enough to rise through the lava column. The relative passivity of Strombolian eruptions, and its non-damaging nature to its source vent allow Strombolian eruptions to continue unabated for thousands of years, and also makes it one of the least dangerous eruptive types.
