Depends on were the volcano is and what sort of rocks and minerals are in the area around the volcano

An explosive eruption typically produces thick and sticky lava known as silica-rich or felsic lava. This type of lava has high viscosity and trapped gas bubbles, causing it to erupt violently. As the lava is very viscous, it can block and build pressure in the volcano, resulting in explosive eruptions.

What type of material do explosive volcanoes produce?
An explosive eruption is caused by magma with a high content of water and silica. Non-explosive eruptions are caused by either lava because it is a thicker consistency, or magma with a low content of water and silica.
How are volcanic eruptions affected by the type of lava?
The more silaceous the lava, (higher silica content), the more explosive the eruption.
What type of eruption does MtFuji produce?
It is a composite volcano, so the kind of eruptions it has is explosive.
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 type of lava does mt ruapehu?
Since it is a stratovolcano, it has explosive and nonexplosive eruptions, although it has not erupted since 1707.
What type of eruption does composite volcano have?
The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption
What kinda of lava does a explosive volcano consist of?
When a volcano erupts explosively it does not produce lava; it produces ash and pumice. The magma involved in an explosive eruption is usually felsic or intermediate. Rhyolite, dacite, and andesite are the most commonly discussed in beginner-level geology classes. However, if water gets into the volcano any type of magma can produce an explosive eruption.
Which type of lava does mount Eyjafjallajokull have?
probably basaltic lava because the 2010 eruption was very explosive

What do lava flows the made of pahoehoe and AA Indicate about the type of volcanic eruption that occurred?
Lava flows of pahoehoe and aa indicate that the eruption was effusive ("quiet") rather than explosive, or only very mildly explosive.
What do lava flows made of pahoehoe and AA indicate about the type of volcanic eruption that occured?
They indicate that an eruption is effusive rather than explosive.

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
