Detailed explanation-1: -In fact, geologists believe that Eyjafjallajokull and Katla are related. Eruptions of Eyjafjallajokull have usually been followed by eruptions of Katla, which is a far larger and more powerful volcano.
Detailed explanation-2: -It was a bit smaller, around 300 m (1, 000 ft) long according to witnesses, and lava coming from it started to flow into Hvannárgil canyon. These two erupting fissures shared the same magma chamber, according to geophysicists.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eyjafjallajökull is a stratovolcano and it’s veins follow an East-West direction. It is made up of basalt and andesite lavas. Most of Eyjafjallajökull’s historical eruptions have been known to be quite explosive as the volcano is fed by a magma chamber that rests under the mountain.
