A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
What else can I help you with?
A volcano may erupt explosively or quietly Which factor has the least effect on the power of a volcanic eruption?
Height of the main vent of the volcano
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.
Is a composite volcano quiet or loud?
OH MY GOSH! IT'S A VOLCANO!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??? INCASE THAT WASNT ENOUGH, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........................LOUD!well some volcanoes are loud but some are quiet
Is a composite volcano thick or runny?
A composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, typically has a thick and viscous lava flow due to its high silica content. This type of volcano tends to erupt explosively, producing a mixture of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks.
How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.

What does the amount of silica in a volcanos magma determine about its eruption?
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.
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.

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

When does a volcano erupt quietly?
If it has liquid Lava

How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
What is a volcano that may erupt explosively or non explosively?
One example of a volcano that can erupt explosively is Mount St. Helens in the United States. On the other hand, Kilauea in Hawaii is known for more frequent non-explosive eruptions characterized by effusive lava flows.
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.
What is the difference between a composite and shield a Volcano?
Shield Volcanoes erupt less violently and flows further then composite volcanoes. A composite volcano erupts more violently.
