Quiet volcanoes explode with much less suddenness, because lava does not cool and harden. The lava that creates a quiet volcano is still runny and flowing, and do not plug the craters and trap huge quantities of explosive gas. However, pockets of hot gas form that squirt fountains of lava into the air. Because lava flows away before hardening, broad sheets of lava and wide, gently sloping domes are formed around the volcano. When the lava has dried, it forms a rock known as basalt

What cause a quiet eruption?
Basaltic magma is forced upward in a vent
Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
What is the example of quiet and violent eruptions of volcano?
A quiet eruption, also known as an effusive eruption, is characterized by the slow and steady flow of lava from the volcano without significant explosions or ash plumes. An example is the 2018 eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption, also known as an explosive eruption, involves the sudden release of gas, ash, and debris with explosive force. An example is the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States.
What type of volcano is Haleakala in Hawaii?
Haleakala in Hawaii is a shield volcano. Shield volcanoes are characterized by their gentle sloping sides and widespread lava flows, resulting from low-viscosity magma. This type of volcano typically has relatively quiet eruptions.
How can you tell whether a volcano will have a quiet or loud eruption?
actually volcanoes are always loud unless they are under water. :)
What year was the first eruption of the first volcano?
Impossible to say.
What type of volcano covers a wide area and generally results from a quiet lava eruption?
A shield volcano is a type of volcano that covers a wide area and generally results from a quiet lava eruption. This type of volcano has a broad, domed shape with gentle slopes due to the flowing lava spreading out widely over time. Examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and the Galapagos Islands.
