The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite 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.
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.
Volcanoes that always erupt explosively can be located on both water and land. The type of eruption is determined by the composition of the magma within the volcano, not its location. Explosive eruptions are typically caused by the high pressure buildup of gas within the magma.
No they do not erupt explosively. It depends on its gas an its viscosity. Kilauea in Hawaii does not erupt explosively.
Yes it is called the outer core because they feed volcanoes that explosively erupt.

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.

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