The eruption that occurs at fuego is explosive with lava flows
Silica(te) rich magma is usually an explosive eruption. The explosiveness of an eruption depends on - a) Gases trapped within the magma at eruption b) The Silica content c) The fragility of the crater walls and/or the volcanic plug.
A layer of composite cone formed by quiet eruption will have alternating layers of ash and lava flows, with gentle slopes. In contrast, a layer formed by explosive eruption will have predominantly pyroclastic materials like ash and pumice, with steep slopes and a more jagged appearance due to the explosive nature of the eruptions.
A type of eruption that produces a gentle flow of lava is called an effusive eruption. In these eruptions, lava flows steadily and slowly, typically without explosive activity. The lava tends to have low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily across the surface of the volcano.
If an eruption is quiet, it typically indicates that the magma has low viscosity due to high silica content. The high silica content causes the magma to be more fluid, allowing gases to escape easily and resulting in a gentle eruption with less explosive activity.
In a volcano, the higher the pressure rises before eruption takes place, the more explosive the eruption will be. Some volcanoes seem to be "gentle flow" as a matter of course (like Mauna Loa in Hawaii). Some seem to be explosive as a matter of course (like Vesuvius in Italy). Others manifest both types of eruptions.

The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.
its like josephs farts explosive!

it was gentle
It had an eruption like explosive diarrhea.
quiet eruption flows easeir cause it has a low viscosity and lava flows easier but explosive eruption has a high viscosity and lava flows slower
