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.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by the size of the volcano. The explosiveness of a volcanic eruption primarily depends on the composition of the magma and the amount of gas dissolved in it. Other factors, such as the presence of water or the type of volcanic vent, can also influence the explosiveness of an eruption.

A volcano that no longer erupts is called an extinct volcano.
A volcano erupts when enough pressure builds up inside of it to unplug it's crater. The stronger the plug, the more force is needed to expel it, which results in a more violent eruption. Also, the stickiness of the lava is a factor. The more sticky the lava, the stronger the eruption.

The "dust" from a volcano, more properly called ash, consists of tiny pieces of rock and glass blasted out when a volcano erupts explosively.

Type your answer here... were do you go when a volcano erupts
When a volcano erupts explosively, it releases clouds of hot ash, gas, and pumice. In many cases these clouds, or portions of them, are too dense to rise and instead race down the slopes of the volcano.
