The type of magma underneath the volcano changes with location and the type of volcano. If the magma is lest energetic, the lava will only slowly flow but if the magma has been building up and is energetic, there will be a blast. Hawaii will never explode because it's a hot-spot and isn't near tectonic plates. The closer you are to the edge of a tectonic plate, the bigger the blast will be.
