Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.

What type of eruption produces a gentle flow of lava?
Shield volcanoes produce fast flowing lava. They erupt frequently, but eruptions are gentle because the lava is so thin and does not trap gas in the volcano.
What is the slope for the shield volcano?
A shield volcano has very broad, gentle slopes.
