The answer is Explosive . It is explosive because during a explosive eruption there are clouds of ash, gas , and rock , and with a pyroclastic flow there is dust and ash . there for the answer must be explosive .

∙ 11y agoA pyroclastic flow needs and explosive eruption to occur. However, explosive eruptions do occasionally occur in volcanoes that do not usually produce them. For example, Kilauea, which normally has effusive eruptions, has produced a few explosive ones with pyroclastic flows after water got into the magma.

∙ 9y agoYes. A pyroclastic flow is essentially a sort of avalanche of hot ash, rock, and gas ejected by an explosive volcanic eruption.

Why don't shield volcano have pyroclastic flows?
Shield volcanoes can produce pyrcoclastic flows, but it is rare. Shield volcanoes are fed by low-viscosity basaltic lava with a low gas content. The means that most eruptions are either non exposive or have a very low-grade explosivity. An eruption needs to be explosive to produce pyroclastic flows. However, records show that Kilauea has produced explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows. The explosions appear to have been the result of groundwater seeping into the magma chamber.
Does a composite volcano erupt quietly or explosively?
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Is a cinder cone volcano non explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes produce small explosive eruptions.
Are shield volcanoes explosive?
Very rarely. Shield volcanoes are formed from the eruption of low-viscosity, gas-poor magma which has very little potential to explode. On rare occasions explosive eruptions may occur when magma comes in contact with groundwater.
Is a shield volcano non explosive or explosive?
Shield volcanoes are generally not explosive. However, soemtimes a type of explosive event called a phreatic eruption can occur if the magma comes in contact with water.

What makes volcanoes non-explosive?
Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.

What are non explosive volcanoes?
Dormant volcanoes
Is a cinder cone volcano non explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes produce small explosive eruptions.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Is a non-explosive volcanic eruption more likely to produce lava or pyroclastic material?
Lava because pyroclastic material explodes from a volcano, Lava just runs down the surface of the volcano nonexplosive or explosive.
What is the source of materials for volcanoes that erupt in non-explosive and explosive?
Magma and lava also crust?
Are shield volcanoes explosive?

Does an island composite volcano explode rapidly or slowly?
The phrase "explode slowly" is an oxymoron. Composite volcanoes, regardless of whether they are island volcanoes or mainland volcanoes, will produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
What types of volcanoes have explosive eruptions?
Strato and Cinder-cone volcanos but cinder cones can have non explosive too but not strato
Is a shield volcano non explosive or explosive?
Shield volcanoes are generally not explosive. However, soemtimes a type of explosive event called a phreatic eruption can occur if the magma comes in contact with water.
