No, because some volcanoes cause pyroclastic flows, ash storms, mud flows
and some just have smoke coming out their top.

What do quiet eruptions do?

Quiet volcanoes explode with much less suddenness, because lava does not cool and harden. The lava that creates a quiet volcano is still runny and flowing, and do not plug the craters and trap huge quantities of explosive gas. However, pockets of hot gas form that squirt fountains of lava into the air. Because lava flows away before hardening, broad sheets of lava and wide, gently sloping domes are formed around the volcano. When the lava has dried, it forms a rock known as basalt.
