What determines the frequency and types of eruptions you can expect from a volcano?

The crystal and gas content and temperature of a magma help determine a volcano's eruption style.
• Crystals in magma make it more viscous, so magma with a high crystal content is more likely to explode than flow.
• Gases create explosions if they cannot easily escape from viscous magma, but they can also be released without explosions (or with only minor ones) from fluid magma.
• High-temperature magmas usually erupt effusively, while low-temperature magmas cannot flow easily and are more likely to erupt explosively.

What kind of eruption quiet explosive or both at different times would you expect to come from a cinder cone volcano composite volcano and a shield volcano?
Sheild volcanoes generally erupt "quietly."
What are rifts and what kinds of eruptions would you expect?
a rift is a crack cause by plates moving apart along ocean ridges. You could expect fissure eruptions.
What kind of volcanic activity might you expect to observe near a dormant volcano?
none. a dormant volcano might rumble or something like that, but no kinds of volcanic booms and stuff should happen. inless its about to erupt or something. then you would see mostly gray smoke, and it depends wat kinda eruption its gonna make. not all volcano eruptions are big booms and lava and stuff. most eruptions are just smoke, and maybe SOME lava.
What type of drainage network would you expect to find on a volcano?
The volcano drains the lava by erupting. There is no internal drainage network.
What type of rocks would you expect to find around a volcano crater?
You would find extrusive igneous rocks. Beyond that it depends on the volcano.

What is a volcano that is sleeping but scientists expect to erupted in the the near future?
Dormant volcano
What kind of eruptions would you expect in rifts?
Complex Eruption???
Where would you expect to find lava solidifying into basalt?
You would expect to find lava solidifying into basalt on the flanks of a volcano, most likely a shield volcano.

When has Krakatoa erupted?
We cannot predict exactly when a volcano will erupt. However, Krakatoa, now called Anak Krakatau erupts fairly frequently, so we can probably expect some small eruptions within the next few years.
Which histogram correctly represents the data in this frequency table?
The question asks about the "this frequency table". In those circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is a frequency table in the question?
