magma and high silica content
What else can I help you with?
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientists make a distinction?
It's because of the silica content. Some with high silica are explosive and violent. The ones with lower silica are gentle, and leak out. (might have it backwards. need to brush up on my volcano facts)
What type of eruptions does the Unzen volcano make?
The Unzen volcano in Japan has mainly produced explosive eruptions, characterized by the ejection of ash, rocks, and pyroclastic flows. These eruptions are caused by the build-up of pressure from magma beneath the surface.
Is taal volcano a cinder cone volcano shield volcano or composite volcano - slide2?
Taal Volcano is classified as a complex volcano, exhibiting characteristics of both a cinder cone and a shield volcano. It features a prominent caldera formed by previous explosive eruptions and has built up layers of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits. Its eruptions are typically explosive, consistent with composite volcano behavior, but it also has shield-like features due to the fluidity of its lava flows. Overall, its unique structure and eruptive history make it a complex volcanic system.
Define the flank of a volcano?
The flank of a volcano is the ridge at the top opening of the volcano that was created by lava deposits during eruption,æ Volcano flanks are very unstable and can contain vertical fractures which make them dangerous to study.
Can't people put some thing in a volcano to make it stop erupting?
People have attempted to stop volcanic eruptions by diverting magma flow or cooling the volcano with water, but these methods are often ineffective due to the size and power of volcanic eruptions. It is generally not practical or safe to try to stop a volcanic eruption by putting something in the volcano.

Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.
How could water help a volcano?
It is unclear what it means to "help" a volcano, but water does tend to make eruptions more explosive.

What makes an earthquake to create a volcano that make it erupt?
the moving of the tectonic plates which makes the earths surface unstable which then causes earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
What the specific water vapor and silica conditions that cause differences in eruptions?
Water vapor can make a volcano explode into millions of pieces. Therefore the silica will put it back together, with gravity on its' side. Then lava will concave and erupt therefore making everything in its path rubble.
What conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with high silica content

How can you live in a volcano?
Living in a volcano is extremely dangerous and not recommended. The extreme heat, toxic gases, and potential for eruptions make it an inhospitable environment for humans. It is not a suitable place for permanent residence.
Which conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
Magma with low viscosity
