No they do not erupt more explosively. It all depends on the gas and the viscosity. An example is Kilauea in Hawaii because it does not erupt explosively.

No they do not erupt explosively. It depends on its gas an its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt explosively.


Is the outer core called a crust?

Yes it is called the outer core because they feed volcanoes that explosively erupt.


Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways?

The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.

Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.

land


Do hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcano?

The source is not as important as the gas content and viscosity. For example, Kilauea in Hawaii doesn't erupt very explosively; it is just a fire fountain. The more explosive volcanoes are those with a blocked magma chamber that builds pressure under a solid surface. Hotspot volcanoes tend to be less explosive because most are on the seafloor.


What kind of magmas are generated in places where volcanoes erupt both explosively and nonexplosively?

pillow lava.... i think

Does a composite volcano have a high gas content?

Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.
