Is a composite volcano quiet or loud?
OH MY GOSH! IT'S A VOLCANO!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??? INCASE THAT WASNT ENOUGH, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........................LOUD!well some volcanoes are loud but some are quiet
What is a non-active volcano called?
A shield volcano most commonly found at hot-spots and island chains such as Hawaii they have shallow flanks, a wide base, and runny lava which is frequently erupted, so it is non-explosive because there is little pressure build up
Does a composite volcano erupt quietly or explosively?
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Is a shield volcano quiet or loud?
Shield volcanoes are typically quiet volcanoes, known for their gentle eruptions with slow-moving lava flows. These eruptions are often non-explosive compared to other types of volcanoes, such as stratovolcanoes.
What eruptive style has a shield volcano?
Shield volcanoes tend to erupt non-explosively, mainly pouring out huge volumes of fluid lava. Hawaiian-type eruptions are rarely life threatening because the lava advances slowly enough to allow safe evacuation of people.

Why volcano may erupt?
A non proven theory is that eruption is a defence mechanism of our planet. When "comet elenin" came to near, Mercury fired. Our planet could do the same.

Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.
What type of explosion does a shield volcano have?
Generally shield volcanoes do not explode. They erupt in a non-explosive fashion, fountaining or oozing lava.

What is the difference of a dormant volcano and a intermittent volcano?
A dormant volcano has been "non active for a while but may become active at any time. An intermittent volcano has either been non active for a longer or shorter period but I'm not sure which. They don't have a whole lot of difference.
What is the difference from a non volcano and active volcano?
Effusive eruptions occur when hot, (1200oC) runny basalt magmas reach the surface. Dissolved gases escape easily as the magma erupts, forming lava that flows downhill quite easily. Effusive eruptions build up gently-sloping Shield Volcanoes like Hawaii. Explosive eruptions occur where cooler, more viscous magmas (such as andesite) reach the surface. Dissolved gases cannot escape as easily, so pressure may build up until gas explosions blast rock and lava fragments into the air! Lava flows are much more thick and sticky so do not flow downhill as easily. These eruptions build up more steeply-sloping Composite volcanoes like this one in Chile.
Is a Cinder Cone volcano A non explosive or explosive volcano?
a cinder con volcano is an explosive volcano
What determines the strength of a volcanic eruption?
The explosiveness of a volcano is determined by two factors. The obstacles in the magma's path and the type of volcano. When there is chunks of rock and hardened magma in the vent the liquid magma builds up until it sprays out at hufe ferocity. If there is little or no debris then the magma simply spews out. As for the type of volcano when the tectonic plates move apart it forms a row of GENTLE volcanoes but when they crash together the volcanoes are much more explosive.
