yes a composite volano is both quiet and explosive
A volcanic eruption is more explosive if the magma or lava has a high viscosity, which means it is thick. A volcano like MT Kilauea in Hawaii has thinner magma which flows more freely from the volcano. If it's thicker more gas is created and it can also cause blockages which make for a larger explosion.
it is loud
Water vapor and silica
Lava can't flow violently. Highly explosive eruptions such as the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens do not produce lava flows: they produce clouds of ash, gas, and pumice. Mount St. Helens has produced "quiet" lava flows at times.
quiet
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
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.
Surprisingly, yes. There's a volcano in New Zealand, Mt. Egmond that was made from both, a composite volcano.
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.
quiet and explosive
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
quiet and explosive
Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano. It is known for its explosive eruptions due to the composition of its magma. Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profile and quiet, non-explosive eruptions.
OH MY GOSH! IT'S A VOLCANO!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??? INCASE THAT WASNT ENOUGH, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........................LOUD!well some volcanoes are loud but some are quiet
Mount St. Helens is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by their steep, symmetrical cones built up by layers of hardened lava, ash, and rocks. They are known for explosive eruptions due to the high viscosity of their lava.
A composite volcano is called composite because it has alternating layers of lava and ash, formed by quiet lava flow after explosive eruptions. But yeah, it's definitely made up of both heavy and light rocks !!
Mount Fuji typically has quiet eruptions, characterized by the slow flow of lava and minimal explosive activity. However, it has also experienced explosive eruptions in the past, with the last major eruption occurring in 1707.
