What Is most of the sea floor covered with from non explosive volcanic eruptions?
It is mostly covered with lava
What type of volcanos would be the most explosive?
volcanoes that have large amounts of silica The most explosive volcanoes are stratovolcanoes with felsic magama that has a high gas content. A. Shield Volcano- these usually form at hot spots and are like the ones in Hawaii. THey are nonexplosive because the lava is very runny. This would not be the most explosive. B. Cindercone-this would probably be your best bet although they erupt only once during their liftime. They are the smallest type of volcano and have steep sides. When it explodes, it shoots out pyroclastic material. C. Composite Volcano-this is also called a stratovolcano. It has both nonexplosive and explosive eruptions. THey can have many eruptions. IF the cinder cone was not what you were looking for, then this would be your second choice.

Plinian eruptions are the most destructive. Strombolian eruptions are usually fairly small.

No. The most explosive variety of volcanic activity would be the caldera-forming eruptions of stratovolcanoes. Cinder cone eruptions are only mildly explosive.
