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.
