As of 2010, Popocatepetl is erupting. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, continuous activity since Jan. 2005 has resulted in phreatic explosions, which occur when molten lava contacts water. In Popocatepetl's case the water inside the crater comes from the heat of the rising magma melting the glaciers on its peak.
The eruption was initially explosive, but was followed by some non-explosive activity.
mt. Pinatubo is explosive. ash and pyroclastic material comes out of it when it erupts.

Mount Etna's last eruption was in May 2010
the last eruption of etna was in 2006.
The eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980 lasted for 9 hours
lots. 15,000 died in Etna's most recent eruption. hope it helps no it didnt
The 1980 eruption was very explosive. Ash was blown 80,000 feet into the air and the mountain is a quarter mile shorter than it was before the eruption.
sometimes is quite and sometimes is explosive
Yes, Mount Etna does have explosive eruptions. This is because the eruption releases pyroclastic material, made up of felsic lava which is rich in silicate materials. Therefore, causing the giant explosion!
does mount etna have quiet or explosive eruptions
i like mount etna because it is structured and is explosive
mount etna did not erupt in 1669.
