What type of eruption does Colima produce?
It produces violent eruptions
What is the most violent type of volcanic eruption?
Both the Pelean and Plinian eruptions are violent, and the Plinian (such as Vesuvius) are the most spectacular type. More specifically, there is a designation "ultra-Plinian" to describe highly explosive eruptions such as Kratatoa. The type of eruption that is most violent is when lava, ash and other materials are hurled into the air.
The type of magma that often produces a violent eruptions can be described?
Thick due to high silica content.
The type of volcano formed from violent eruptions of a volcano?
It is not a composite volcano or a cinder cone volcano... it's not even a shield volcano so it is NOT one of the three main volcanoes
What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
What type of eruption does Colima produce?
It produces violent eruptions
Rhyolite is associated with what type of eruption?
Rhyolite is associated with explosive eruptions.
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.

What type of magma causes violent erpuptions?
Highly viscous felsic magma causes the most violent volcanic eruptions.

What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
Plinian eruptions are the most powerful type of eruption They are usually caused by what kind of magma?
Plinian eruptions are usually associated with felsic magmas.
What type of fronts do violent storms usually form from?
Violent storms are often associated with cold fronts.
What is the difference between a lahar and a mudflow?
A lahar is a specific type of mudflow formed primarily of volcanic material.
What type of eruptions do mafic magmas cause?
Basaltic magmas are associated with fissure eruptions creating lava flows spilling out from cracks in the crust. This is because basaltic magmas are more viscous and contain a lower concentration of gases than rhyolitic magma and therefore are unable to build up sufficient pressure to produce explosive eruptions.
