Why are ash cinders and bombs produced only in explosive volcano eruptions?

Ash, cinders and bombs only come from explosive eruptions because quiet eruptions really only spew thin lava, not thick and sticky lava like explosive ones. The thick lava can get caught inside the pipe leading to the vent, which can cause more and more pressure to build up. When the volcano's side gives in, or when the lava finally gets to the vent, it ends up exploding, making ash, cinders and bombs.

∙ 8y agoAsh and cinders are formed from lava that is blown apart explosively. If lava is not ejected explosively it will either flow away from the vent, fill a lava lake, or pile up into a lava dome.

Is the paricutin volcano quiet or explosive?
Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?
Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.
Why are scientists able to use rocks to be able to find out that a volcano is explosive or nonexplosive?
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
What kind of eruption quiet explosive or both at different times would you expect to come from a cinder cone volcano composite volcano and a shield volcano?
Sheild volcanoes generally erupt "quietly."
Is Mount Rainier an explosive or non explosive volcano why or why not?
It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.
Why does ash cinders and bombs only produced during explosive eruptions from a volcano?
It requires an explosive force to hurl and fragment the molten rock like that. Non explosive eruptions extrude rock more "gently".
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.
How does cider cone volcano and shield volcano differ?
Cinder cones are small and steep-sloped, composed of volcanic cinders, and have mildly explosive eruptions. Shield volcanoes are large and shallow-sloped with very runny lava and generally non-explosive eruptions.
Is the paricutin volcano quiet or explosive?
Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Why is Kilauea volcano non explosive?
Kilauea is a shield volcano fed by gas-poor basaltic magma. It is the gas in the magma that makes eruptions explosive. Kilauea has occasionally produced explosive eruptions when magma cam in contact with water.

Sheild volcanoes generally erupt "quietly."
Q: What does composite volcano meanA: one of the answers can be it has explosive eruptions?
A: it can have explosive eruptions
What is the difference of viscosity of magma in quiet eruptions and explosive eruptions?
During a quiet eruption lava flows from vents, setting fire to, and then burying, everything in its path. During an explosive eruption, a volcano can belch out hot clouds of deadly gases as well as ash, cinders, and bombs
What is formed by explosive eruptions by a volcano?
Explosive eruptions will produce pyroclastic rocks such as scoria, pumice, and tuff.
Is a shield volcano explosive or not?
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
Is kilauea a supervolcano?
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
