Let me  disagree with Scott's statement asserting that a bursting eruption
and a  jetting eruption coming from the same vent would be unlikely; What
about  Porkchop in the old days? All you need is a pool with a small vent
in the  bottom, and for successive eruptions to come from a lower water
level. With  most of the pool splashed dry, the small vent produces narrow
jets. And  sometimes, as in Spasm, the process happens in reverse as the
water level  rises in the pool.



Sometimes maybe I should shut up -- but I'm also considering appearances of  
eruptions and other things, having been there. And frankly, Spasm's initial  
bursts are just that, bursts and not anything akin to steady jets (at least in  
my now relatively considerable experience).
'Nuff.
