One factor that influences a volcanic eruption is the composition of the lava; the thicker the lava, the more explosive the eruption. Another factor is the level of pressure that forces magma up a pipe or vent; the higher the pressure, the more violent the eruption.

There are actually three primary factors that determine whether a volcano erupts violently or quietly. That is its magma composition, magma temperature, and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma.
