Size of the cone
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by the location of the volcano itself. Instead, it is primarily influenced by factors such as the composition of the magma, gas content, and the pressure buildup within the magma chamber. These geological characteristics determine whether an eruption will be effusive or explosive, regardless of where the volcano is situated.
silica levels
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.

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.
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.

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.
