What kind of volcano produce lahar?

Lahars are mainly produced by stratovolcanoes, which are tall, steep-sided volcanoes composed of layers of hardened lava, ash, and volcanic rocks. These volcanoes are prone to explosive eruptions that can melt snow and ice, triggering lahars when the volcanic material mixes with water and flows down the volcano slopes.

What types of volcanoes have lahar or ash?

All types of volcanoes have the potential to produce lahars (mudflows) or ash during eruptions. Lahars can occur on any volcano with ice or snow on its flanks, while ash can be ejected from any volcano that erupts explosively, regardless of its type (e.g., composite, shield, or cinder cone).

Why do volcanoes in the Philippines releases lahar while in the other countries it releases magma?

Magma comes out of all volcanoes, though it is called lava once it reaches the surface. In an explosive volcanic eruption, however, the magma does not become lava, but instead forms tiny particles of glass called volcanic ash. This ash can then mix with water to form muflows called lahars. Lahars are not limited to the Philippines, but can occur anywhere that there are sufficient amounts of ash and water.
