A rhyolite volcano is a volcano that erupts rhyolitic lava or pyroclasitc material. Rhyolite is an igneous rock formed from the eruption of extremely viscous silica rich material. Eruptions involving rhyolite can be extremely large and violent. In some cases, however, rhyolite can build into lava domes or form thick, extremely slow lava flows.
