How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
What is the example of quiet and violent eruptions of volcano?
A quiet eruption, also known as an effusive eruption, is characterized by the slow and steady flow of lava from the volcano without significant explosions or ash plumes. An example is the 2018 eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption, also known as an explosive eruption, involves the sudden release of gas, ash, and debris with explosive force. An example is the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States.
What type of volcano is Haleakala in Hawaii?

What type of volcano covers a wide area and generally results from a quiet lava eruption?
A shield volcano is a type of volcano that covers a wide area and generally results from a quiet lava eruption. This type of volcano has a broad, domed shape with gentle slopes due to the flowing lava spreading out widely over time. Examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and the Galapagos Islands.
Is the Yellowstone volcano quiet explosive or both?
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
What are the dangers of a quiet volcano?
A quiet volcano can be dangerous because it may not show traditional signs of an imminent eruption, making it difficult to predict when it will become active. This can lead to unexpected and sudden eruptions, putting nearby communities at risk. Additionally, a quiet volcano may still release harmful gases, such as sulfur dioxide, without any visible signs of activity, posing health hazards to those living in the vicinity.
