Hydrothermal
Eruptions - John Seach
Hydrothermal eruptions are caused
by catastrophic discharges of water close to the boiling point.
It is a phreatic eruption. No ash,
incandesence, or clasts are erupted. Hydrothermal eruptions
may be caused by a reduction in the
overlying pressure.
Examples of hydrothermal eruptions
Waiotapu (New Zealand)
Rotarua (New Zealand)
Kawah Komojang Field (Java, Indonesia)
