Best Answer

There are a few different components. The ability of lava to flow is largely affected by silica content. More silica means the lava flows less easily. The explosive potential comes from gass trapped in the molten rock, which is released violently upon exposure to lower pressure. The primary gas is water vapor. Magma that is high in silica usually has a high gas content.
