Explosive.. Because when it erupted it produced more ash than lava... Even if It was thousands of years ago
Mount Shasta is considered a potentially explosive stratovolcano due to its composition of andesite and dacite lava which can lead to explosive eruptions. However, its most recent eruptions have been relatively non-explosive with mainly effusive lava flows.
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.
Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano. It is known for its explosive eruptions due to the composition of its magma. Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profile and quiet, non-explosive eruptions.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Mount Fuji is considered a stratovolcano, which means it has the potential for both explosive and non-explosive eruptions. Historically, it has exhibited explosive behavior, particularly during its last major eruption in 1707. However, eruptions can vary in intensity, and some eruptions may be non-explosive, characterized by lava flows rather than explosive ash clouds. Overall, while it has the capability for explosive eruptions, it can also produce less violent activity.

Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano. It is known for its explosive eruptions due to the composition of its magma. Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profile and quiet, non-explosive eruptions.
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
Explosive and non-explosive eruptions form different types of rock. Explosive eruptions tend to have fragmented rocks composed of cinders, ash, and pumice. Non-explosive eruptions usually produce lava flows, which tend to cool as solid sheets or channels of rock.
