Why do some volcanoes erupt ash and others lava?

The style of the volcanic eruption is very dependent on the amount of dissolved gas that is in the magma (liquid rock below the surface). If there is a high gas content the volcanic eruption will be explosive and create a log of ash. If the gas content is low the eruption produces more lava flows. An example of a high gas content eruption was the last major eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980. An example of a low gas content eruption would be the Hawaiian volcanoes.
