Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Mount Shasta is considered a potentially explosive stratovolcano due to its composition of andesite and dacite lava which can lead to explosive eruptions. However, its most recent eruptions have been relatively non-explosive with mainly effusive lava flows.
Mount Fuji typically has non-explosive eruptions, which are characterized by the slow release of lava and volcanic gases. However, there is also some evidence of explosive eruptions occurring in the past, which have produced ash clouds and pyroclastic flows.
As of 2010, Popocatepetl is erupting. According to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, continuous activity since Jan. 2005 has resulted in phreatic explosions, which occur when molten lava contacts water. In Popocatepetl's case the water inside the crater comes from the heat of the rising magma melting the glaciers on its peak.
There have been volcanic eruptions all over the world in the last 5 years. While the majority of them have been non-explosive, there are others that occurred in Indonesia, Africa, and Chile that were much larger.

The 1980 eruption was very explosive. Ash was blown 80,000 feet into the air and the mountain is a quarter mile shorter than it was before the eruption.
Mount Fuji is considered a stratovolcano, which means it has the potential for both explosive and non-explosive eruptions. Historically, it has exhibited explosive behavior, particularly during its last major eruption in 1707. However, eruptions can vary in intensity, and some eruptions may be non-explosive, characterized by lava flows rather than explosive ash clouds. Overall, while it has the capability for explosive eruptions, it can also produce less violent activity.
Mount Etna is higher than Ben Nevis because Mount Etna is a volcanic mountain located in Sicily, Italy, and has been continuously growing due to volcanic activity over thousands of years. Ben Nevis, on the other hand, is a non-volcanic mountain located in Scotland and has been eroded to its current height over millions of years, resulting in Mount Etna being taller.

It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.
It is not recommended to drive up Mount Etna as the terrain can be challenging and dangerous, especially for non-experienced drivers. It is advised to take a guided tour or use the cable car and buses that are available for visitors.
The biggest, or largest volcano in the world is Mauna Loaon Hawai'i Big Island.As you do not state, 'active or non active' the largest non active is Mount Mazama Crater, Oregon and the largest active in Mount Etna, Sicily. Followed by Vesuvius and Tambora
