The Plinian eruption of the Klyuchevskaya volcano on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula was captured here by the Space Shuttle Endeavor in 1994. The prevailing wind direction produced a pronounced asymmetry of the plume head.

As the eruption ends, the whole summit area may collapse forming a caldera. Plinian eruptions are named after Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. They gave us a clear view on the classic eruption of Vesuvius in AD79.

The following movie depicts a cross-sectional view an explosively erupting volcano, typical of a so-called Plinian eruption. A variety of pressure surfaces exist within the magma column beneath the erupting volcano, and within the eruption column above the volcano.

These eruptions, commonly lasting several hours to about 4 days, involve high eruption rate, voluminous, gas-rich eruptions that produce widely dispersed sheets of pyroclastic material derived from high eruption columns.

In a Strombolian-type eruption observed during the 1965 activity of Irazú Volcano in Costa Rica, ... The most powerful eruptions are called "plinian" and involve the explosive ejection of relatively viscous lava. Large plinian eruptions--such as during 18 May 1980 at Mount St. Helens or, more recently, during 15 June 1991...

A plinian eruption is a powerful ejection of gas, ash and scoria creating a tall eruption column. Plinian eruptions are an order of magnitude larger than vulcanian eruptions. Examples of plinian eruptions are Mt Pinatubo in 1991, and Vesuvius in 79 AD.
