Rhyolite is associated with explosive eruptions.
Rhyolite is a rock type that is categorized by mineral composition. Scoria is a textural rock type. Like, Rhyolite can be smooth, or it can be scoria (sharper, bumpier, lots of vesicles).Think of it as a rock adjective.
The Mount Helen's 1980 eruption was a major volcanic eruption.
The type of eruption that is characterized by an abundant pyroclasts is Strombolian eruption. Large blobs of lava and hot rock, called pyroclasts, are tossed from its central vent during this eruption.
Rhyolite.
Yes. Rhyolite is the volcanic equivalent of granite.
Krakotoa lava was known to be made of dacite or rhyolite. This explains the magnitude of the eruption. I hope this helped. :)
The type of volcano and eruption from basaltic magma would be a cinder cone volcano. The eruption would be a mild explosive eruption. It would be mainly ash and scoria.

Yes, rhyolite is considered rare. It is considered rare because it is considered a type of advanced igneous volcanic rock.
A rhyolite volcano is a volcano that erupts rhyolitic lava or pyroclasitc material. Rhyolite is an igneous rock formed from the eruption of extremely viscous silica rich material. Eruptions involving rhyolite can be extremely large and violent. In some cases, however, rhyolite can build into lava domes or form thick, extremely slow lava flows.
the eruption that did it was a eruption

Plinian eruptions are usually associated with felsic magmas.
The toba eruption was ultra plinian.
The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption
big eruption
