In a volcano, the higher the pressure rises before eruption takes place, the more explosive the eruption will be. Some volcanoes seem to be "gentle flow" as a matter of course (like Mauna Loa in Hawaii). Some seem to be explosive as a matter of course (like Vesuvius in Italy). Others manifest both types of eruptions.
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
The volatile content of the magma. Weather water or Ice has ingres to the volcanic vent. The physical stability of the volcano.
The weight of the volcano.
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.

The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption

No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
A summit eruption can involve explosive activity, but not always. Summit eruptions can also involve effusive lava flows or steady emissions of ash and gas. The specific type of eruption depends on factors such as the magma's composition, gas content, and the volcano's plumbing system.
Silicon
It is a composite volcano, so the kind of eruptions it has is explosive.
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.
Krakatoa is a volcano that erupted. In the eruption, gases were trapped below the cap of the volcano. The explosive eruption occurred when the pressure was enough to blow the cap off of the volcano.
