Paricutin is an explosive volcano. It is classified as a scoria cone volcano, which is a type of volcanic cone that is formed by explosive eruptions. Paricutin's eruptions were characterized by the ejection of molten rock fragments, ash, and gases, leading to the formation of a cone-shaped structure. The explosive nature of Paricutin's eruptions is attributed to the high gas content and viscosity of the magma beneath the volcano.
Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Yes, Paricutin is a composite volcano. It is located in Mexico and formed as a result of both explosive and effusive eruptions, which produced layers of both ash and lava, characteristic of composite volcanoes.
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 eruption technically a strombolian eruption
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.

Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.
Non-explosive and Explosive
explosive and non-explosive
yes.

Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
