Occasionally, yes. Most of Kilauea's eruptions are effusive, however.
kilauea has quiet eruptions due to the low silica content of its magma/lava. a low silica content means the magma is less viscous and therefore erupts as runny lava
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
Basaltic magmas are associated with fissure eruptions creating lava flows spilling out from cracks in the crust. This is because basaltic magmas are more viscous and contain a lower concentration of gases than rhyolitic magma and therefore are unable to build up sufficient pressure to produce explosive eruptions.
The volcanoes in Hawaii erupt basaltic lava, which is relatively runny and has a low gas content. As a result the volcanoes usually produce effusive eruptions; fountain or oozing lava but rarely producing explosions. After emerging the lava travels along as fairly slow-moving lava flows. These flows can be destructive, but are easy to escape.
Hawaii's volcanos are quite compared to Mt St Helens because Mt St Helens blew up from a earthquake of two plates shifting making the volcano vary voilent and loud which blew one half of the volcano
Effusive eruptions occur when hot, (1200oC) runny basalt magmas reach the surface. Dissolved gases escape easily as the magma erupts, forming lava that flows downhill quite easily. Effusive eruptions build up gently-sloping Shield Volcanoes like Hawaii. Explosive eruptions occur where cooler, more viscous magmas (such as andesite) reach the surface. Dissolved gases cannot escape as easily, so pressure may build up until gas explosions blast rock and lava fragments into the air! Lava flows are much more thick and sticky so do not flow downhill as easily. These eruptions build up more steeply-sloping Composite volcanoes like this one in Chile.
Generally not. Most eruptions in Hawaii are effusive.
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
No. The volcanoes of Hawaii build up the land through lava flows. Explosive, ash-producing eruptions are rare there.
The eruptions in Hawaii are quiet eruptions coming from a hot spot.
as they are sitting on the hot spot (which is a place were the magma sits just under the crust of the earth) causing a trail of volcanic eruptions as the contanetal plate moves over it
rhyolitic mama is associated with explosive volcanism and is ejected (blown out of) a volcano rapidly. Basaltic lavas are released during effusive volcanism that is not explosive, such as hawaii where the lave "flows" into the ocean slowly. Basaltic lavas have a lower silica content as well.

Hawaii's volcanos are quite compared to Mt St Helens because Mt St Helens blew up from a earthquake of two plates shifting making the volcano vary voilent and loud which blew one half of the volcano
Volcano eruptions happen in many places but they mostly occur in Hawaii.
