8 0
One of the reasons why Plinian eruptions are more violent is that they release more viscous magma than Hawaiian hawaiian eruption. the thicker the magma the more violently it is released on the ground surface. Hawaiian eruption on  the other hand release thin magma that flows peacefully but fast. the other reason hawaiian eruptions are less violent is the presence of many side fissures where some magma escapes through in addition to the main vent. these fissures help to reduce pressure and therefore magma flows peacefully. in plinian eruptions magma is mainly released from the main vent.

The sea levels depend primarily on the global climate. If the global climate is experiencing cooling down and it enters into an ice age, the low temperatures will cause lot of water from the sea to freeze and create enormous ice sheets. This will cause drop in the sea levels. On the other hand, when the global climate is warming up, the ice sheets melt, which results in enormous amounts of water to return back to the sea. This results in an increase of the sea levels.
