∙ 11y agoThe most violent volcanoes are called super volcanoes.
They are around 1,000 times more violent than cone shaped volcanoes.
Largest: La Garita Caldera: Ejected around 5,000 km³ of material
Last: Lake Toba: 74,000 years ago.
Next: Heise Volcanic field: Yellowstone National Park is contained over a supervolcano and it is overdue!

The type of volcano formed from violent eruptions of a volcano?
It is not a composite volcano or a cinder cone volcano... it's not even a shield volcano so it is NOT one of the three main volcanoes
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.
What layers of a volcano represent violent eruptions?
These plates float on a layer of magma - semi-liquid rock and ... Stratovolcanoes are considered the most violent eruptions. ... 1783: The eruption of Mount Skaptar in Iceland devastated farming and fishing, causing a famine ...

Is a Hawaiian volcano an explosive volcano?
Generally not. Most eruptions in Hawaii are effusive.
Is a caldera the same as a volcano?
No. A volcano is a vent or fissure in the ground through which molten rock, ash, and gas can erupt from within the Earth. A caldera is a large depression in the ground that forms during the most violent volcanic eruptions when a volcano collapses in on itself.
Is mt kilauea a quiet eruption?
Mt. Kilauea on Hawaii is a basaltic shield volcano. This sort of volcano produces basalt lava which is not tremendously gassy and quite hot and runny. Thus unless water gets into the volcano's pluming (in which case there can be violent explosive eruptions), they are usually quiet, well behaved volcanoes.They do however erupt continuously for long periods of time, Kilauea is perhaps, the most active volcano on Earth.
Is the Yellowstone volcano quiet explosive or both?
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
Is a shield volcano explosive or not?
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
