What determines the strength of a volcanic eruption?
The explosiveness of a volcano is determined by two factors. The obstacles in the magma's path and the type of volcano. When there is chunks of rock and hardened magma in the vent the liquid magma builds up until it sprays out at hufe ferocity. If there is little or no debris then the magma simply spews out. As for the type of volcano when the tectonic plates move apart it forms a row of GENTLE volcanoes but when they crash together the volcanoes are much more explosive.
What type of volcano has magma that contains large volumes of gases but not silica and water?
The most explosive type of volcano, which is the type that has water, is called a boiler volcano. All active volcanoes have magma, and emit carbon dioxide. Magma can contain silica.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by?
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.
