Are volcanic eruptions in the ring of fire generally quiet or violent?
Volcanic eruptions in the Ring of Fire are generally violent, though not all eruptions are. Kilauea is an example of a volcano that has relatively quiet eruptions, but it is a deep mantle hotspot volcano not part of the ring of fire system and its lava is low in water content. In general the volcanoes in the Ring of Fire that have violent eruptions including Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo, Krakatoa, and Mt. Mazama because their lava is high in water content which increases the possibility of steam explosions during an eruption.

When was mount Pinatubos strongest eruption?
The most explosive eruption of Pinatubo is believed to have occurred around 35,000 years ago. That eruption is estimated to have been five times larger than the 1991 eruption, deposited pyroclastic flow material up to 100 metres (330 ft) thick on all sides of the mountain. In recent history, the strongest eruptions occurred in June 1991 - starting on April 2, with phreatic eruptions along the summit. Additional eruptions continued over the next several several weeks. The most violent phase of the eruptions occurred on June 15 starting some time after 14:30 and lasting about 3 hours.

The type of eruption that is most violent is when lava, ash and other materials are hurled into the air.
