The type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition of magma. In addition to the composition of the magma, the volcanic eruption depends on the ration of sulfur, carbon dioxide, and water the magma contains.

Factors helps determine whether a volcanic eruption will be violent or relatively quiet?
· It is determined by the primary factors of the magma's Temperature, its Composition, and the amount of Dissolved Gases it contains.
What factor determaine the type of volcanic eruption?
the primary factors that determine whether a volcano violently or quietly include magma composition magma temp and the amount of dissolved gases in the magma.
What are the sequence of events leading to a volcanic eruption-?
During a volcanic eruption, magma moves in an upward direction towards the vent of a volcano. The type of eruption depends on the amount of silica and gas. After the eruption, magma touches the earth's surface and is classified as lava. Rocks and other debris in the volcano are forcefully pushed into the air. The rocks are called pyroclastic rocks. When the rocks touch earth, it turns into ash, dust, pummice or cinder.
Where is The greatest amount of volcanic material is produced at?
The greatest volume of volcanic material is produced by fissure eruptions.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by?
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.

What is the relationship between the amount of gases in magma and the explosiveness a volcanic eruption?
The more gases, water vapor and silica there is in magma the bigger the explosiveness of a volcanic eruption.

What are the factors affecting volcanic eruption?
How full the magma chamber is and the amount of gas that is in the volcano.

Do volcanic bombs have a large amount of silica?
Not necessarily. Volcanic bombs may be formed from any composition of magma from basaltic to rhyolitic.
How do scientists classify volcano eruptions?
Volcanic eruptions are classified on the Volcanic Explosivity index, which is based on parameters such as the amount of material erupted and the height of the eruption column.
Identify and explain the 3 factors that effect the force of a volcanic eruption?
The silica content effects the force of a volcanic eruption because magma with a lot of silica is thicker and magma with less silica is thinner. The amount of dissolved gases in magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the less gas in the magma, the less pressure will be inside the volcano. The temperature of the magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the hotter the magma, the more runny it is.
Why is it easier for people to keep safe from volcanic eruption than from an earthquake?
I doubt that either can be considered "easier to be safe from" than the other, it depends entirely on the magnitude of the event (i.e. amount of energy released).
