Geology: Geology of Iceland - Part 6: Volcano types

Effusive basalt eruptions form the dominant volcanic activity, but explosive eruptions of subplinian and Plinian intensities characterize and shape Icelandic volcanism. Large eruptions have widespread range of effect and the largest may have had global impact...
