Icelandic VS Hawaiian Eruptions

Icelandic eruptions are typically non-explosive and relatively gentle compared to other types of volcanic eruptions, with lava flowing out of fissures or vents in the Earth's crust. The lava can flow over large distances, creating vast lava fields and shield volcanoes. A volcano on the Reykjanes peninsula in southwest Iceland erupted late on December 19, 2023, is an example of an Icelandic eruption.

Hawaiian Eruptions are similar to Icelandic eruptions; they involve effusive eruptions of large volumes of very hot, thin, runny lava that originate from vents of the volcanoes. Kilauea volcano's eruption on June 7, 2023, serves as an example of a Hawaiian eruption.

Hawaiian Eruptions are similar to Icelandic Eruptions that release large volumes of very hot, thin, runny lava which originated from the vents of the volcanoes. An example is Kilauea Volcano in Hawaii which erupted from 1983 to 2018.

Icelandic Eruptions are effusive eruptions characterized by lava flows flowing out of fissures and vents. They can also create lava flows and shield volcanoes. An example is the 2023 eruption of the Volcano on the Reykjanes Peninsula in Southwest Iceland.
