It depends. Steam from an eruption may rise several thousand feet into the air. Eruption columns, which are composed of ash rather than smoke, may be several miles tall. The very tallest may be over 20 miles high.

Does a cinder cone volcano have a high or low gas content?
high
If the magma of a volcano has a high amount of dissolved gas what type of eruption will the volcano have?
Typically, high viscosity, high gas magma results in a Plinian (explosive) eruption. The gas pulverizes the magma into ash and may form lateral pyroclastic flows.
Does a composite volcano have a high gas content?
Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.
How does a volcano interrupt?
A volcano erupts when gases build to an inescapable high pressure. The gas pushes magma and ash through the cone of the volcano causing an eruption.
What Tend to increase the explosive potential of magma body beneath a volcano?
high viscosity and dissolved gas

What is it called when a volcano ejects gas?
A volcano " vents " gas when pressure builds up
How is gas stored in a volcano?
Gas is stored in the Magma chamber at the bottom of the volcano, along with the magma.
How does the air get caught in a volcano?
Volcanos produce a lot of gas, and not all volcanos have open holes on top. Some are closed, and as magma rises, air gets trapped.
What is the speed a gas travels in air?
depends if you are talking about a forced gas such as a high pressure nozzle blowing the gas out or diffusion of a gas into the air, the first depends on pressure, the second depends on heat
What does molten rock and gas leave the volcano through?
Molten rock and gas leave a volcano though a vent.
Is a volcano a gas liquid and solid?
A volcano is made of solid rock.
Why is producer gas called producer gas?
Producer gas produces a mixed air which helps in producing high temperatures.
