WHAT DOES STROMBOLIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Strombolian

Strombolian eruption

Strombolian eruptions are relatively low-level volcanic eruptions, named after the Italian volcano Stromboli, where such eruptions consist of ejection of incandescent cinder, lapilli and lava bombs to altitudes of tens to hundreds of meters. They are small to medium in volume, with sporadic violence. They are defined as "...Mildly explosive at discrete but fairly regular intervals of seconds to minutes..." The tephra typically glows red when leaving the vent, but its surface cools and assumes a dark to black color and may significantly solidify before impact. The tephra accumulates in the vicinity of the vent, forming a cinder cone. Cinder is the most common product; the amount of volcanic ash is typically rather minor. The lava flows are more viscous, and therefore shorter and thicker, than the corresponding Hawaiian eruptions; it may or may not be accompanied by production of pyroclastic rock. Instead the gas coalesces into bubbles, called gas slugs, that grow large enough to rise through the magma column, bursting near the top due to the decrease in pressure and throwing magma into the air.

Definition of Strombolian in the English dictionary

The definition of Strombolian in the dictionary is relating to or denoting a type of volcanic eruption characterized by repeated fountaining or jetting of fluid lava into the air.
