Depends on were the volcano is and what sort of rocks and minerals are in the area around the volcano
Mount Shasta primarily produces andesitic lava, which is a type of intermediate lava characterized by a medium viscosity and silica content. This type of lava typically results in eruptions that produce a combination of lava flows and explosive eruptions.
The more silaceous the lava, (higher silica content), the more explosive the eruption.
It is a composite volcano, so the kind of eruptions it has is explosive.
An explosive eruption is caused by magma with a high content of water and silica. Non-explosive eruptions are caused by either lava because it is a thicker consistency, or magma with a low content of water and silica.
A type of eruption that produces a gentle flow of lava is called an effusive eruption. In these eruptions, lava flows steadily and slowly, typically without explosive activity. The lava tends to have low viscosity, allowing it to flow easily across the surface of the volcano.
The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption

When a volcano erupts explosively it does not produce lava; it produces ash and pumice. The magma involved in an explosive eruption is usually felsic or intermediate. Rhyolite, dacite, and andesite are the most commonly discussed in beginner-level geology classes. However, if water gets into the volcano any type of magma can produce an explosive eruption.
The more silaceous the lava, (higher silica content), the more explosive the eruption.
It is a composite volcano, so the kind of eruptions it has is explosive.
Lava flows of pahoehoe and aa indicate that the eruption was effusive ("quiet") rather than explosive, or only very mildly explosive.
probably basaltic lava because the 2010 eruption was very explosive

Mount Ruapehu in New Zealand typically erupts andesitic lava, which is a type of intermediate lava that is more viscous than basaltic lava. This can lead to explosive eruptions due to the buildup of pressure beneath the volcano.
