What types of materials erupt from valcanoes?
magma and sedimentary rocks. :D as well as some of the molten rock around the volcano that break off as a result of the eruption.
What is a volcano that may erupt explosively or non explosively?
since your asking for all types then I can only answer a generic volcano
How many types of magma are there?
their are many types of magma because when a volcano has soft magma that means it either exploded small or the magma was going really slow and fast magma and big exploding volcano's are hard magma.:)
What determines the frequency and types of eruptions you can expect from a volcano?
The crystal and gas content and temperature of a magma help determine a volcano's eruption style. • Crystals in magma make it more viscous, so magma with a high crystal content is more likely to explode than flow. • Gases create explosions if they cannot easily escape from viscous magma, but they can also be released without explosions (or with only minor ones) from fluid magma. • High-temperature magmas usually erupt effusively, while low-temperature magmas cannot flow easily and are more likely to erupt explosively.
How do the three types of volcanoes differ?
The active volcano is erupting or has erupted recently. A dormant volcano has not erupted recently, but may erupt again in the furture. It could be considered as "sleeping". An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
Suppose a volcano that is about to erupt contains mafic magma. The mafic magma has a very low silica content. what types of igneous rocks will the volcano most likely form?
basalt

What is the difference of an active volcano and a dormant volcano?
An active volcano is one which maintains a hot magma chamber, so that it might erupt anytime in the future. An inactive (extinct or dormant) contains mainly cooled lava and is not likely to erupt unless there is a new supply of hot magma.
What causes volcanoes to explode?
It would usually consist of pressure and if there is a hot spot under the volcano. There are also many different types of volcanoes and it would also depend on the type it is. For example the dome volcano just makes a hot air looking balloon type of thing.How the volcano explodes: There is a rock in the volccano called ignious and inside the volcano is lava. When the temperature get very high the lava turns into magma and when the magma touches the rock it has a reaction of some kind that makes the volcano explode when it gets to hot
What determine the type of volcano?
Its magma composition.different types of volcanic eruptions form different types of volcanoes
What types of volcanoes are created when andesitic magma erupts?
Andesitic magma will result in the formation of a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano.
Why eruption of each volcano different?
Different types of volcanoes erupt differently due to different compositions of the magma chambers as well as differnt magma types being present within the volcanoes. The three main types of magma are Basalt, Andesite, and Rhyolite. These erupt in very different manners.Basalt - Basalt eruptions are ften known as Hawaiian style eruptions, they are categorized by curtains of fire and long rift zones. The magma itself is very fluid in nature, it does not readily trap gasses to explosive levels and therefore has very placid and erupts in flows and layers. Volcanoes of this type are known as shield volcanoes.Andesite - This is an intermediate magma in its viscosity, it will flow but not as well as basalt does. This magma also has the ability to trap dissolved gasses to explosive levels. It is an intermediate viscosity and a volcano of this type would be a stratovolcano or cinder cones.Rhyolite - The most viscous basic form of magma, it does not want to flow and will build into lava domes around active vents. This magma is known for its ability to drive very powerful explosions through its ability to maintian dissolved gas and only let it escape through explosive decompression. A volcano of this type can be a Stratovolcano or a Caldera.
What types of rocks would be found around a volcano that has erupted recently?
Lava Ir magma rocks
