The eruptions began with a 6 km (4 mi)-long fissure-based "curtain of fire" on 3 January 1983. These gave way to centralized eruptions on the site of Kilaueas east rift, eventually building up the cone.

Strombolian
Strombolian eruptions are a type of volcanic eruption named after the volcano Stromboli, which has been erupting nearly continuously for centuries. Strombolian eruptions are driven by the bursting of gas bubbles within the magma. These gas bubbles within the magma accumulate and coalesce into large bubbles, called gas slugs. These grow large enough to rise through the lava column. Upon reaching the surface, the difference in air pressure causes the bubble to burst with a loud pop, throwing magma in the air in a way similar to a soap bubble. Because of the high gas pressures associated with the lavas, continued activity is generally in the form of episodic explosive eruptions accompanied by the distinctive loud blasts. During eruptions, these blasts occur as often as every few minutes.The term "Strombolian" has been used indiscriminately to describe a wide variety of volcanic eruptions, varying from small volcanic blasts to large eruptive columns. In reality, true Strombolian eruptions are characterized by short-lived and explosive eruptions of lavas with intermediate viscosity, often ejected high into the air. Columns can measure hundreds of meters in height.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in Washington, which ripped apart the volcanos summit, was a Plinian eruption of Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) 5. The strongest types of eruptions, with a VEI of 8, are so-called "Ultra-Plinian" eruptions, such as the one at Lake Toba 74 thousand years ago, which put out 2800 times the material erupted by Mount St. Helens in 1980. Hekla in Iceland, an example of basaltic Plinian volcanism being its 1947–48 eruption. The past 800 years have been a pattern of violent initial eruptions of pumice followed by prolonged extrusion of basaltic lava from the lower part of the volcano. Pinatubo in the Philippines on 15 June 1991, which produced 5 km3 (1 cu mi) of dacitic magma, a 40 km (25 mi) high eruption column, and released 17 megatons of sulfur dioxide. Kelud, Indonesia erupted in 2014 and ejected around 120,000,000 to 160,000,000 cubic metres (4.2×109 to 5.7×109 cu ft) volcanic ashes which caused economic disruptions across Java. Phreatomagmatic eruptions
Phreatomagmatic eruptions are eruptions that arise from interactions between water and magma. They are driven by thermal contraction of magma when it comes in contact with water (as distinguished from magmatic eruptions, which are driven by thermal expansion). This temperature difference between the two causes violent water-lava interactions that make up the eruption.
