A volcano erupts when enough pressure builds up inside of it to unplug it's crater. The stronger the plug, the more force is needed to expel it, which results in a more violent eruption. Also, the stickiness of the lava is a factor. The more sticky the lava, the stronger the eruption.

A quiet eruption, also known as an effusive eruption, is characterized by the slow and steady flow of lava from the volcano without significant explosions or ash plumes. An example is the 2018 eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption, also known as an explosive eruption, involves the sudden release of gas, ash, and debris with explosive force. An example is the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States.
