It doesn't matter if a volcano is known for being explosive or not. They're not always explosive, every time has a different amount of explosivity, amount of magma, ejected, whether lava is launched into high into the Earth's atmosphere or whether it slowly or quickly travels down the sides of the volcano. Volcanoes can continue forever or stop at any time, same thing applies for suddenly starting again unexpectedly.

Is mt kilauea a quiet eruption?
Mt. Kilauea on Hawaii is a basaltic shield volcano. This sort of volcano produces basalt lava which is not tremendously gassy and quite hot and runny. Thus unless water gets into the volcano's pluming (in which case there can be violent explosive eruptions), they are usually quiet, well behaved volcanoes.They do however erupt continuously for long periods of time, Kilauea is perhaps, the most active volcano on Earth.
What kinda volcano id kilauea?
