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 factors determine whether a volcano has a violent or quiet eruption?
A volcano erupts when enough pressure builds up inside of it to unplug it's crater. The stronger the plug, the more force is needed to expel it, which results in a more violent eruption. Also, the stickiness of the lava is a factor. The more sticky the lava, the stronger the eruption.
What two principal factors determine the nature or explosive potential of a volcanic eruption?
The two principal factors that can determine the nature or explosiveness of a volcanic eruption is Temperature and Composition in terms of its water content, mineralogy and volatility.
What factors determine the force of a volcano eruption?
Factors that determine the force of an eruption are magma viscosity and gas content.
Did mount Fuji have a quiet or violent eruption?
Mt Fuji was pyroclastic flow in 1707-1708[ its last eruption ] their for it was a violent eruption.

Was Mt Mazama's eruption calm or violent?
The eruption of Mount Mazama that formed Crater Lake was a caldera forming eruption. This is the most violent type of volcanic eruption.
What two important factors determine whether an eruption will be explosive or quiet?
It depends on the pressure, amount of magma, whether it's on a fault line, and how long convection has been going on to determine how the eruption will be.
What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
What is the example of quiet and violent eruptions of volcano?
An example of a "quiet" eruption would be the 1983-present eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption would be the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens.
