no they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and on its viscosity. an example is Kilauea in Hawaii it does not erupt explosively.

Do oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
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.
Does a shield volcano have runny lava?
In volcanoes that have lower amounts of volcanic gases in the magma. A good example is the volcanoes in the Hawaiian islands. Volcanoes with more gases in the magma tend to erupt explosively (Mt. St. Helens, Vesuvius) and have a thicker, slower moving lava.
Name two countries that have volcanoes that erupt occasionally?
It is not uncommon for volcanoes to erupt every year, someplace in the world. Two countries that have volcanoes that erupt from time to time are the United States and the Philippines. Other countries include El Salvador, Iceland, and Africa.
What other two materials other than lava that erupt from volcanoes?
Ash and pumice are common materials.
Why aren't volcanoes constantly erupting?
Volcanoes take thousands of years to make by tectonic plates converging and diverging, the necessary pressure for some volcanoes to erupt takes hundreds to thousands of years to build up. Some volcanoes are constantly eruptive, these eruptions having little explosive properties, other volcanoes don't erupt for thousands of years.

Do oceanic hot-spots tend to erupt more than other volcanoes?
No they do not erupt explosively. It depends on its gas an its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt explosively.
Do hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?
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.

Where are do other volcanoes erupt if it doesn't on fault lines?

What are types of explosive?
Rhyolite caldera complexes are the most explosive volcanoes, although other types of volcanoes can also erupt.
