The lava is silica-rich, so it clogs in the vents. The pressure builds, and boom.

What type of plate boundary causes volcanic eruptions?
There are two plate boundaries that cause volcanoes. They are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries.
How do volcanoes affect Hawaii?
Hawai'i was formed from volcanoes. The shape of the islands (volcanic mountains) affects the weather. Volcanic activity causes eartquakes, eruptions on the Big Island cause it to continue to grow, cause fires, close roads. Gasses from the volcanoes can cause vog (volcanic smog) and volcanoes have produced fertile soil in Hawai'i.
Why are composite volcanoes steeply sloped?
It depends on viscosity of the lava. the runnier the lava, the farther it flows before solidifying, so it cannot pile up as fast.
The most common volcanic emission even from dormant volcanoes?
There are several causes of volcanic eruptions. Some of the most common are the buoyancy of the magma, pressure form the gases in the magma, and a new batch of magma entering an already filled chamber.
What causes the most violent eruptions in volcanoes?
high viscosity in magma composition.

What are some natral causes of acid rain?
Volcanic eruptions.

Why do you suppose volcanic eruptions would affect temperatures?
Volcanic eruptions either lower or increase temperatures. When volcanoes explode, the gases and particles that are emitted into the air such as ash and sulfur dioxide, have a cooling effect by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Carbon dioxide, on the other hand, causes warming by adding to the greenhouse effect.

What causes the fertile soil of central Mexico?
This soil was created by volcanic eruptions over the centuries and allows for productive farming.
What causes mega tsunamis?
Landslides and other big impacts like volcanic eruptions cause mega tsunamis
