Do shield volcanoes produce quiet eruptions and explosive eruptions?
Shielf volcanoes generally produce "quiet" eruptions. Explosive eruptions are rare.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.

What are the classification of volcanoes according to eruption?
It is Quiet, Explosive, Intermidiate
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?
A cinder cone volcano typically has quiet eruptions, characterized by the ejection of small fragments of lava and ash. Composite volcanoes can have both quiet and explosive eruptions, due to the buildup of pressure from the highly viscous magma. Shield volcanoes generally have non-explosive eruptions, with flowing lava that travels long distances.
Is the paricutin volcano quiet or explosive?
Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Does a composite volcano erupt quietly or explosively?
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Do shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions?
Because shield volcanoes have lava flows rather than explosive eruptions, they are much quieter than other types of volcanoes. Regardless, shield volcanoes are among some of the largest in the world.
Is mount merapi a quiet or explosive volcano?
Mount Merapi is an explosive volcano. It is one of the most active and dangerous volcanoes in Indonesia, known for its frequent and violent eruptions that release large amounts of ash, gas, and lava.
Is a shield volcano quiet or loud?
Shield volcanoes are typically quiet volcanoes, known for their gentle eruptions with slow-moving lava flows. These eruptions are often non-explosive compared to other types of volcanoes, such as stratovolcanoes.
Is a cinder cone volcano non explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes are generally considered to be non-explosive compared to stratovolcanoes. They typically erupt with fire fountains and release lava flows rather than explosive eruptions with ash and pyroclastic flows. However, some cinder cone eruptions can exhibit some degree of explosivity depending on the gas content of the magma.
What is a quiet volcano?
Quiet volcanoes explode with much less suddenness, because lava does not cool and harden. The lava that creates a quiet volcano is still runny and flowing, and do not plug the craters and trap huge quantities of explosive gas. However, pockets of hot gas form that squirt fountains of lava into the air. Because lava flows away before hardening, broad sheets of lava and wide, gently sloping domes are formed around the volcano. When the lava has dried, it forms a rock known as basalt.
