Height of the main vent of the volcano
A volcano may erupt explosively or quietly. Which factor has the least effect on the power of a volcanic eruption?
Height of the main vent of the volcano
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.
Why do some volcanoes erupt while others erupt quietly?
This is because of the time of volcano it is and the type of lava it excretes. A steep volcano will erupt with basaltic lava which is runny and can clog at the top. A shield volcano, however is different as the thick lava emitted just glops onward.
