Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
D. Volcanoes that have large amounts of silica
There are mainly four types of volcano classifications based on their shape and eruption style: stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and lava dome volcanoes. Stratovolcanoes have steep sides and explosive eruptions, shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and non-explosive eruptions, cinder cone volcanoes are small and composed of tephra, and lava dome volcanoes are formed by thick lava flows.
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gently sloping sides and are formed by layers of lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes built from explosive eruptions that eject fragmented rock.
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
Rhyolite caldera complexes are the most explosive volcanoes, although other types of volcanoes can also erupt.
Volcanoes with more viscosity are more explosive.

Strato and Cinder-cone volcanos but cinder cones can have non explosive too but not strato
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
Dormant volcanoes
Non-explosive volcanoes will have low concentrations of gas in the magma.
Because shield volcanoes have lava flows rather than explosive eruptions, they are much quieter than other types of volcanoes. Regardless, shield volcanoes are among some of the largest in the world.
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Explosive volcanoes are most common at subduction zones.
