Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?
Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.
What type of magma is produced in Kilauea?
pahoehoe
What type of magma is produced in the Kilauea?
pahoehoe
How does magma composition and the resulting eruption affect the form of a volcano?
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.
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
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 amount of magma mount kilauea could hold?
Three Million gallons of magma
Is basaltic or andesitic magma hotter?
Basaltic magma is hotter than andesitic magma.
What are the rock types that mt kilauea are composed of?
Magma, gas, and obsidian.
How far can Kilauea the volcano erupt?
That depends on the forc of the eruption and the viscosity of the magma.
What is the cause of the Kilauea eruption?
heat and pressure pushed magma out of the side vents making it ooze out and also magma shoots out of the crater.
Is Kilauea on a divergent boundary?
No. Kilauea was formed when the Pacific Plate moved over a hot spot in the Earth's mantle. Magma formed a plume upward into the Earth's crust and formed a volcano: Kilauea. 9 +10 = 21
