What is the specific water vapor and silica conditions that cause differences in eruptions?

Water vapor can make a volcano explode into millions of pieces. Therefore the silica will put it back together, with gravity on its' side. Then lava will concave and erupt therefore making everything in its path rubble.

What conditions make for a violent volcano eruptions?
magma and high silica content
Does low silica magma cause explosive volcanic eruptions?
Not usually. Explosive eruptions are more often to magma with high or moderate silica levels.
Why is silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions?
silica rich magma associated with explosive eruptions because it tends to trap water and gas bubbles :)
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
A light colored igneous rock with silica content and explosive eruptions?
Andesite

Why do volcanic eruptions differ?
The main cause of differences in volcanic eruption characteristics is due to the viscosity of the magma. High viscosity magmas are high in sticky silica which traps gas and produces explosive eruptions. Low viscosity magmas are low in silica and produce eruptions with far less energetic characteristics.

Do silica-rich magma cause explosive eruptions?
yes
What kind of eruption is produced when basaltic lava that is low in silica flows from a volcano?
quiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptionsquiet nonexplosive eruptions
A light colored igneous rock with silica content and explosive eruptions?
Andesite
What kind of eruptions and speed of flow do high silica and low silica magmas have when they erupt as lava?
For eruptions it is explosive and for speed of flow it is 6 miles per hour. When the eruption as lava is 18 miles per hour.
Does Hawaii experience effusive or explosive eruptions?
Occasionally, yes. Most of Kilauea's eruptions are effusive, however.
Describe how differences in magma affect volcanic eruptions?
It depends on the texture of the magma, if it is thick then it won't let the gases escape, and if it is liquidy then the gases will escape resulting in a nonexplosive eruption. If the magma is high in silica and water then it will be thick If the magma is low or has no silica or water then it will be liquidy. - Negehna 6th Grade
