 Phreatomagmatic Eruption - John Seach

A phreatomagmatic eruption is an explosive water-magma interaction.
This type of eruption produces fine grained tephra.
Large amounts of steam and magmatic gases are emitted.
An example of a Phreatomagmatic Eruption was the eruptions of Mt Usu in Japan in April 2000.
