Crusts must have both granitic (continental) plate and basaltic (oceanic) plate to cause both explosive (granitic magma) and non-explosive (basaltic magma) eruptions
it is alternating layers of pyroclstic materials
The source of materials for volcanoes that erupt explosively and effusively primarily comes from the Earth's mantle and crust, specifically magma generated by the melting of these layers due to tectonic processes. We know this through geological studies, seismic data, and the analysis of volcanic rocks, which reveal the composition and behavior of the magma. Additionally, the characteristics of different eruptions can be linked to the gas content and viscosity of the magma, helping to explain why some volcanoes erupt violently while others produce gentle lava flows.
The volcanoes that erupt both ways are located on or near boundaries between oceanic and continental crust over subduction zones.
The source of materials for volcanoes that erupt in both explosive and effusive ways primarily comes from the magma generated in the Earth's mantle. This magma can vary in composition, gas content, and temperature, which influences the eruption style. Explosive eruptions often occur with magma that has high viscosity and gas content, leading to pressure buildup, while effusive eruptions typically involve more fluid magma that allows gases to escape easily. The interaction of tectonic processes, such as subduction and rifting, also plays a crucial role in determining the characteristics of the magma produced.
It is not uncommon for volcanoes to erupt every year, someplace in the world. Two countries that have volcanoes that erupt from time to time are the United States and the Philippines. Other countries include El Salvador, Iceland, and Africa.

Active volcanoes and dormant volcanoes both have a likely chance to erupt and have erupted in the past.
Many are in Europe.

Did you know that composite volcanoes make up 60% of the Earths volcanoes. Composite volcanoes don't always have to erupt from the top. They can have many magma chambers and can erupt from the sides. They can be made of basalt, rhyolite and/or andesite. They erupt both ash and lava. The lava is very thick. When the time comes for the volcano to erupt they start to become very quiet. (Sneaky eh?)
Both erupt basaltic lava, which has a low silica content and a high temperature.

Volcanoes that erupt both explosively and effusively are typically located along tectonic plate boundaries, known as subduction zones. Examples include stratovolcanoes in the Ring of Fire in the Pacific Ocean, like Mount St. Helens in the United States and Mount Merapi in Indonesia. These volcanoes can have both explosive eruptions, ejecting ash and lava, as well as effusive eruptions with flowing lava.
Scientists explore volcanoes in order to study its past eruption and/or when it will possibly erupt again. If the volcano is inactive they examine the old rocks around it in order to know the history of that volcano. There are both active and inactive volcanoes both of which are studied by scientists.
