Height of the main vent of the volcano
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by the location of the volcano itself. Instead, it is primarily influenced by factors such as the composition of the magma, gas content, and the pressure buildup within the magma chamber. These geological characteristics determine whether an eruption will be effusive or explosive, regardless of where the volcano is situated.

If a volcano's magma is high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt explosively. If the magma is not high in silica, the volcano will probably erupt quietly.

A volcanic eruption.
Cinders are small, volcanic rocks or fragments that are ejected during a volcanic eruption. They are formed when magma is explosively expelled from a volcano and cools rapidly in the air, resulting in porous, lightweight particles. These cinders can accumulate around the volcano, contributing to the formation of volcanic landforms such as cinder cones. Their presence can impact the surrounding environment, including vegetation and air quality, during and after an eruption.
Nonexplosive Eruption
Both "volcano eruption" and "volcanic eruption" are correct word choices, but they slightly differ in nuance. "Volcano eruption" specifically refers to the eruption of a volcano itself, emphasizing the physical structure, while "volcanic eruption" refers to the eruption of any volcano or volcanic activity in a more general sense. In technical or scientific contexts, "volcanic eruption" is often preferred for its broader scope and accuracy.
A volcano erupting is an exothermic process. During a volcanic eruption, molten rock (magma) is expelled from the Earth's mantle, releasing a significant amount of heat energy into the surrounding environment. This release of heat is what causes the lava to flow and the gases to escape explosively, resulting in the eruption phenomena we observe.
