What type of eruption did mount Pinatubo have?
Mount Pinatubo had LATERAL eruption. It means, generally volcano erupts at its highest peak where its vent finds an opening, but mount Pinatubo got a weak side and therefore it erupted laterally.
What type of eruption does mount vesuvius produce?
both quite and violent eruption
Was Mt Pinatubo the largest volcanic eruption in recent time?
No. Compared with other volcanoes of the same type, Mount Pinatubo is relatively small. Its 1991 eruption was very large, but by no means the largest. The 1815 eruption of Mont Tambora was more than 10 times larger.
What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
What would happen if mount Pinatubo erupted again?
This would depend on the type of eruption that Pinatubo were to produce. The only record of eruption of the volcano are of the 1991 event. Although scientists know that the volcano had erupted in an explosive manner before it is unclear what other types of eruptions it can produce. Although unlikely that Pinatubo will erupt in the near future it is a possibility. The eruption is not likely to be as explosive as the 1991 event as the amount of time between eruptions of that magnitude should be longer, given the otherwise unknown history of the volcano. This would suggest that it does not erupt frequently; however, when it erupts it seems to be catastrophic in nature.
