This document discusses the different types of volcanic eruptions. It begins by stating the learning objectives, which are to identify, describe, and illustrate the types of volcanic eruptions using a concept map. It then provides definitions and examples for five types of eruptions: phreatic/hydrothermal, phreatomagmatic, Strombolian, Vulcanian, and Plinian. Phreatic eruptions involve hot rocks interacting with water. Phreatomagmatic eruptions result from magma interacting with water. Strombolian eruptions have explosions of lava fragments. Vulcanian eruptions have tall explosions lasting seconds to minutes. Plinian eruptions are the most explosive
