What two important factors determine whether an eruption will be explosive or quiet?

The two important factors that determine whether an eruption will be explosive or quiet are the viscosity of the magma (how thick or sticky it is) and the presence of gases dissolved in the magma (such as water vapor and carbon dioxide). High viscosity and high gas content typically lead to explosive eruptions, while low viscosity and low gas content lead to quieter eruptions.
