Yes. Mt. Saint Helens erupted in less than a minute when an earthquake occurred at 08:32:17 AM Pacific Daylight Time on Sunday 18 May 1980, resulting in the largest recorded landslide in history. The slide exposed the lava dome and steam saturated rock to lower pressure which resulted in a massive explosion.

Why are volcanoes that erupt infrequently more destructive then volcanoes that erupt continuously?

Volcanoes erupt infrequently more destructive and active than volcanoes that erupt continuously because the volcano that didn't erupt in a while had more pressure than the volcano that erupts constantly. When more pressure builds up, gas wants to get out as soon as possible. When it does, the magma comes out, it pushes and pushes out since all thee pressure builded up.
