Match List I with List II:

List I (Type of Volcanic Eruption)		List II (Characteristics)
(A)	Pelean type	(I)	More fluid basaltic lava effusive and quite in nature
(B)	Hawaiian type	(II)	Less fluid basaltic lava andhaving explosive nature
(C)	Strombolian type	(III)	Viscous lava, which does not remain liquid after contact with air
(D)	Vulcanian type	(IV)	Extremely viscous lava with violent character

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is A

• A. Pelean type: The Pelean type eruptions are characterized by extremely viscous lava with a violent eruption (IV). This type of eruption typically produces pyroclastic flows.
• B. Hawaiian type: Hawaiian eruptions are known for more fluid basaltic lava which is effusive and quiet in nature (I). This type of eruption generally involves lava fountains and lava flows.
• C. Strombolian type: Strombolian eruptions have less fluid basaltic lava and are known for their explosive nature (II), with short bursts of gas and lava.
• D. Vulcanian type: Vulcanian eruptions are characterized by viscous lava that does not remain liquid after contact with air, making the eruptions more explosive and violent (III).

Information Booster:

1. Pelean eruptions are known for pyroclastic flows and are very explosive due to the high viscosity of the lava.
2. Hawaiian eruptions, which are typically the least violent, involve more fluid lava that travels easily, creating lava flows.
3. Strombolian eruptions are moderate and explosive, often producing lava bombs and short-lived eruptions.
4. Vulcanian eruptions have very viscous lava that leads to explosive eruptions, often involving pyroclastic material.
5. Different types of volcanic eruptions are influenced by the lava's viscosity, which determines the eruption's intensity and behavior.
