A volcanic eruption is when lava and gas are released from a volcano—sometimes explosively. The most dangerous type of eruption is called a 'glowing avalanche' which is when freshly erupted magma flows down the sides of a volcano.
Mitigation
Mitigation measures for volcanic eruptions usually involve implementation of control structures to reduce the effects of flooding; land zoning and evacuation; and building reinforcement.
Characteristics
They tend to have very steep slopes and are symmetrical. They sometimes rise up to 10,000 feet above sea level and create some of the planet's most majestic mountains. The eruptions from this type of volcano can often be very violent, throwing rock, ash and lava high into the air.
