How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?

Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.


Do these hot spot volanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

no they do not erupt more explosively. It depends on its gas and on its viscosity. an example is Kilauea in Hawaii it does not erupt explosively.


Do oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

No, oceanic crust hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt with less explosiveness compared to subduction zone volcanoes. The lava from hot spot volcanoes is typically less viscous, allowing gases to escape easily and reducing the likelihood of explosive eruptions.


Where are volcanoes that erupt in both ways located?

Volcanoes that erupt both explosively and effusively are typically located along tectonic plate boundaries, known as subduction zones. Examples include stratovolcanoes in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, like Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. These volcanoes can have both explosive eruptions, ejecting ash and lava, as well as effusive eruptions with flowing lava.


What are the three type of volcanoes how do they erupt and from?

The three main types of volcanoes are shield, stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes, like Mauna Loa, have gentle slopes and erupt primarily through the effusion of low-viscosity basalt lava, resulting in broad, expansive landforms. Stratovolcanoes, such as Mount St. Helens, exhibit steep profiles and erupt explosively due to more viscous magma, often resulting in pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest and erupt explosively, spewing out ash and small lava fragments that accumulate around the vent to form a steep, conical hill.

Where are volcanoes that always erupt explosive located?

Many are in Europe.


Is the outer core called a crust?

Yes it is called the outer core because they feed volcanoes that explosively erupt.


Do hot spot volcanoes tend to erupt more explosively than other volcanoes?

The source is not as important as the gas content and viscosity. For example, Kilauea in Hawaii doesn't erupt very explosively; it is just a fire fountain. The more explosive volcanoes are those with a blocked magma chamber that builds pressure under a solid surface. Hotspot volcanoes tend to be less explosive because most are on the seafloor.

Does a composite volcano have a high gas content?

Yes. Composite volcanoes often have a high gas content in their magma, which is why they often erupt explosively.


Volcanoes that are quiet are what kind of volcanoes?

Quiet volcanoes can be either dormant or extinct. An extinct volcano, as you may have guessed, has not erupted for a very long period of time and will not erupt in the future. A dormant volcano, however, is just sleeping. You probably get up all groggy after a good sleep.If you mean volcanoes that erupt quietly, as in not explosively, then those are generally shield volcanoes.
