The magma that erupts at Mount Pinatubo is mainly dacitic in composition, which is a type of intermediate magma that is rich in silica. This type of magma typically leads to explosive eruptions due to its high viscosity and gas content.
The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo released an estimated 5 cubic kilometers of magma from underground.
The magma of all volcanoes contains silica. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo involved dacite magma, which has a high silica composition.
Mount Pinatubo and the surrounding volcanoes of the volcanic arc rise up because of magma occlusion from the subduction plate boundary.
Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano, which is characterized by having a tall, conical shape with steep sides. Stratovolcanoes like Pinatubo typically have explosive eruptions and are associated with magma that is high in silica content, resulting in thick and viscous lava flows.
Mount Pinatubo is a Stratovolcano or also known as Composite Volcano
Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano or composite volcano. The last eruption happened in 1993
Mount Pinatubo had LATERAL eruption. It means, generally volcano erupts at its highest peak where its vent finds an opening, but mount Pinatubo got a weak side and therefore it erupted laterally.

Mount Pinatubo is known to produce explosive eruptions due to its composition of magma. These eruptions can result in a large ash cloud, pyroclastic flows, and even lahars which are fast-moving mudflows.
About 300 people were killed in the 1991 Mount Pinatubo lahar disaster in the Philippines. The lahar, which is a type of volcanic mudflow, was triggered by the eruption of Mount Pinatubo. It caused widespread destruction in the surrounding areas.
