The volcano usually generates strombolian eruptions with ejection of incandescent pyroclasts and lava flows. Rainfall plus melted snow and glacier ice can cause massive lahars (mud and debris flows), such as during the eruptions of 1964 and 1971. Villarrica is one of 9 volcanoes currently monitored by the Deep Earth Carbon Degassing Project.
