It is a Composite Volcano (Stratovolcano) and is located in the Philippines
No. Pinatubo tends to produce ash and pumice rather than lava flows. A'a is a textural variety of basaltic lava. Pinatubo in recent history has erupted dacitic material, which is far more viscous.
Mt. Pinatubo is known to have explosive eruptions. The violence of an eruption is influenced by the amount of dissolved gas in the magma, the viscosity of the magma, and the presence of water or other fluids. If the magma has high gas content, is highly viscous, and interacts with water, it can lead to a more violent eruption.
Analysis of deposits suggets that many of Pinatubo's eruptions are similar to the one that occurred in 1991. This eruption produced enormous clouds of ash and pumice.
No. The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo was a highly explosive Plinian eruption. Instead of lava flows it produced a massive column of ash and pyroclastic flows.
Mt Pinatubo is a composite volcano and the lava is primarily dacitic making it explosive and highly viscous. Dacite would likely erupt at about 800 degrees Celsius.

Mount Pinatubo erupt violently, but does not produce lava flows. It creates massive clouds of ash and pumice.

They both depend on eruptions for their formation but lava tubes form only in large flows of low-viscosity, basaltic,lava. I don't know if this applies to Mt. Pinatubo.

Mount Pinatubo is a stratovolcano, which is characterized by having a tall, conical shape with steep sides. Stratovolcanoes like Pinatubo typically have explosive eruptions and are associated with magma that is high in silica content, resulting in thick and viscous lava flows.

Mount Pinatubo primarily erupts dacitic magma.
yes Mt Pinatubo is a composite volcano
Mount Pinatubo is a Stratovolcano or also known as Composite Volcano
