Are volcanic eruptions in the ring of fire generally quiet or violent?

Volcanic eruptions in the Ring of Fire are generally violent, though not all eruptions are. Kilauea is an example of a volcano that has relatively quiet eruptions, but it is a deep mantle hotspot volcano not part of the ring of fire system and its lava is low in water content. In general the volcanoes in the Ring of Fire that have violent eruptions including Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Pinatubo, Krakatoa, and Mt. Mazama because their lava is high in water content which increases the possibility of steam explosions during an eruption.


What do only the most violent volcanic eruptions feature?

The most violent volcanic eruptions are found in destructive/convergent plate boundaries. 80% of the world's active volcanoes are found occur along destructive boundaries. Acid-lava and composite volcanoes also cause the most violent eruptions as the lava is viscous and the opening of the volcano is sometimes blocked by hardened lava, causing a huge massive explosion during the eruption.
