Of course, you need a builldup of lava beneath the surface of the earth. If this lava has a high viscosity (flows slowly), then it is more likely to build up and explode. Also, if there is alot of lava building up, then the pressure on the top of the volcano increases too.
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
The Osorno volcano in Chile is a composite volcano. It is characterized by its tall, symmetrical shape and alternating layers of lava flows and volcanic ash. It is the result of both explosive and effusive eruptions.
This would result in a non-explosive, "runny" eruption, similar to what you get in Hawaii, where the volcano simply pours out lava. Explosive reactions occur when rocks contain large amounts of water and silica, which flash into steam, resulting in a rapid expansion, and thus a dangerously explosive reaction.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Krakatoa is a volcano that erupted. In the eruption, gases were trapped below the cap of the volcano. The explosive eruption occurred when the pressure was enough to blow the cap off of the volcano.
a cinder con volcano is an explosive volcano
Weather has no effect on the explosive properties of volcanoes.
is akutan volcano explosive or nonexplosive
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
explosive
When it explodes!
active volcano

yes.
Explosive because u suck
