1897I. C. Russell Volcanoes N. Amer. i. 9 These two volcanoes belong to the explosive type,..but illustrate two quite well marked phases of that type, which..are termed the Strombolian stage and the Vesuvian stage,—the former characterized by long-continued but mild activity, the second by periods of rest broken by explosions of extreme violence. 1903A. Geikie Text-bk. Geol. (ed. 4) I. 278 The second [phase of volcanic energy], known as the Strombolian, is shown by a continual eructatior of dust and stones. 1906A. Lacroix in Smithsonian Rep. 224 This type of explosion I designate with Mercalli the Strombolian type. 1974Nature 2 Aug. 385/1 Between these eruptions, activity on the volcano had been restricted to strombolian explosions and the extrusion of lava at the bottom of..the summit crater. 1976P. Francis Volcanoes iii. 108 Strombolian activity..is a bit noisier than Hawaiian, but it's still not particularly dangerous. |
