As of 2010, Popocatepetl is erupting. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, continuous activity since Jan. 2005 has resulted in phreatic explosions, which occur when molten lava contacts water. In Popocatepetl's case the water inside the crater comes from the heat of the rising magma melting the glaciers on its peak.
Mount Etna recently had a Strombolian eruption. This type of eruption is characterized by frequent and moderate explosive bursts of lava that can reach a few hundred meters in height.

the same place any mt Etna eruption is, Sicily, Italy
Mount Etna erupted on July 16, 2002, in Sicily, Italy. The eruption was characterized by a series of explosive events and lava flows, particularly from the southeastern crater. This eruption was notable for the significant ash plumes that affected nearby towns and disrupted air travel in the region.
The 2002 Mount Etna eruption destroyed around 70 homes and forced thousands of residents to evacuate the area.
sometimes is quite and sometimes is explosive
Yes, Mount Etna does have explosive eruptions. This is because the eruption releases pyroclastic material, made up of felsic lava which is rich in silicate materials. Therefore, causing the giant explosion!
The 1980 eruption was very explosive. Ash was blown 80,000 feet into the air and the mountain is a quarter mile shorter than it was before the eruption.
does mount etna have quiet or explosive eruptions
Mount Etna recently had a Strombolian eruption. This type of eruption is characterized by frequent and moderate explosive bursts of lava that can reach a few hundred meters in height.
i like mount etna because it is structured and is explosive
