Strombolian Eruption

Lava Intensity: Moderate
Ash Cloud Size: Small
Danger Level: Moderate
Magma Viscosity: Medium

Description:

Strombolian eruptions are characterized by moderate explosive activity with rhythmic ejections of incandescent lava fragments to heights of tens to hundreds of meters. These eruptions typically produce small ash clouds and moderate lava flows. Named after Stromboli volcano in Italy, these eruptions feature medium-viscosity magma and pose a moderate danger to surrounding areas.

Real-World Example:

Stromboli volcano in Italy has been erupting almost continuously for over 2,000 years, earning it the nickname "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean." Its regular, moderate explosions eject glowing lava fragments in a display often referred to as the "Stromboli Fireworks."
