Volcanoes explode out of openings in the earth where lava bursts through. Typically the volcanoes are assumed to erupt from the top, or peek. However, it is common for a volcano to also erupt from the side of the cone shaped volcano.

∙ 7y agoSeasons are to do with weather and climate. A volcano may erupt anytime not in summer or winter, that is irrelevant.
Volcanoes do not erupt in a season, the reason they erupt is due to the build up of magma in the Earth's crust below the place they erupt.
Some volcanoes are:
extinct, nothing happening for a very long time
dormant, they have not erupted for a long time but might become active in 500-1000 years
active, they 'dribble or spew' all the time
new ones which erupt sometimes after other thermal activity becomes apparent sometimes unexpectedly but usually in an area where there are other volcanoes or thermal activity.
An example is the Volcanic Plateau in New Zealand which is part of the Pacific Rim of Fire where many extinct, dormant and active volcanoes are situated.

What term is given to large depressions associated with volcanoes that form when volcanoes explode or collapse in the Earth?
That term is 'calderas'
Do volcanoes stop earth from exploding?
No. The Earth won't "explode"! Volcanoes relieve pressure over relatively small areas, but the planet's Crust and interior as a whole are basically in equilibrium.
Why do volcanoes occur in Himalaya?

yes
What are volanoes?

Does an island composite volcano explode rapidly or slowly?
The phrase "explode slowly" is an oxymoron. Composite volcanoes, regardless of whether they are island volcanoes or mainland volcanoes, will produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Does the volcanoes in Spain still explode?

In what weather conditions does a volcano explode best?
Weather has no effect on the explosive properties of volcanoes.
Why do Japan's volcanoes have steep slopes?
because japans volcanoes explode. So therefore, the magma does not flow down the volcano making it flat and smooth.
Why don't Hawaii islands explode?
They do! Check out the Volcanoes State Park at Kilauea on the Big Island. They have volcanoes that have been going for 30 years now.
Why is it important for us to know about volcanoes?
because if people are not informed about volcanoes they could erupt and explode and kill us all and we wouldnt have any protocol to escape it.
Why do volcanoes explode after years of silence?
in the magma chamber gasses build up. while it is silent its building up theses ezplosive gasses build up and explode.
