Tambora is a composite volcano (stratovolcano). A stratovolcano/composite volcano is explosive, usually creating large ash clouds, pyroclastic flows and can cause mass destruction for miles and sometimes effect the entire earth for years.

The lava of Mount Tambora covered an estimated area of about 40 square kilometers during its 1815 eruption.
No. Tambora is a stratovolcano with a large caldera.
Tambora was a composite cone.
Mount Tambora typically produces highly viscous lava due to its high silica content. This results in the lava being thick and slow-moving, leading to more explosive eruptions.
Mount Tambora is associated with a convergent plate boundary.

Mount Tambora is in the Indonesian archipelago.
Mount Tambora's lava can reach temperatures of around 1,300 to 1,600 degrees Celsius (2,372 to 2,912 degrees Fahrenheit). This extreme heat allows the lava to flow relatively quickly and efficiently when erupting from the volcano.
Mount Everest has no lava because it is not a volcano
The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was a V.E.I. 7.
Mount Tambora is 4,300 m (14,000 ft) high.
Mount Tambora is a stratovolcano and its over 5000 years old.
During the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, materials expelled included ash, volcanic gases such as sulfur dioxide, and lava flows. The eruption was one of the most powerful in recorded history and resulted in global climate impacts.
