How to use eruption in a sentence?

1. New Zealand-based volcanologist Shane Cronin:

   This is an eruption best witnessed from space, the large and explosive lateral spread of the eruption suggests that it was probably the biggest one since about the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.

2. Mike Kaleikini:

   This is all about the eruption, and PGV is just a small component that happens to be in the area.

3. Ignacio Lopez:

   So far, the eruption has been slightly less serious (than in 2011) and the meteorological conditions have been good, meaning the ashes are remaining suspended in the air.

4. Bolshaya Udina:

   Or it could just release the energy smoothly over a few months, or it may just disappear without any eruption.

5. Peter Watson:

   The nature of the burns suffered is complicated by the gases and chemicals in the eruption. This has necessitated more rapid treatment of these burns than is the case for thermal-only burns.
