Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
How can you tell if a layer of composite cone was formed by quiet eruption or explosive eruption?
A layer of composite cone formed by quiet eruption will have alternating layers of ash and lava flows, with gentle slopes. In contrast, a layer formed by explosive eruption will have predominantly pyroclastic materials like ash and pumice, with steep slopes and a more jagged appearance due to the explosive nature of the eruptions.
What is the example of quiet and violent eruptions of volcano?
A quiet eruption, also known as an effusive eruption, is characterized by the slow and steady flow of lava from the volcano without significant explosions or ash plumes. An example is the 2018 eruption of Kilauea in Hawaii. A violent eruption, also known as an explosive eruption, involves the sudden release of gas, ash, and debris with explosive force. An example is the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the United States.
What are the two factors the control whether a volcano eruption will be explosive or quiet?
The two main factors that control whether a volcano eruption will be explosive or quiet are the viscosity of the magma and the presence of dissolved gases. High viscosity magma (thick and sticky) and high gas content tend to result in explosive eruptions, whereas low viscosity magma (thin and runny) and low gas content lead to quiet eruptions.
How does magma composition and the resulting eruption affect the form of a volcano?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
Was mauna loa a quiet or explosive eruption?
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
What substance determines if a volcano will have quiet or explosive eruption?
Silicon
What side of a volcano formed by a quiet eruption?

Is the Yellowstone volcano quiet explosive or both?
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.

What is the difference of viscosity of magma in quiet eruptions and explosive eruptions?
During a quiet eruption lava flows from vents, setting fire to, and then burying, everything in its path. During an explosive eruption, a volcano can belch out hot clouds of deadly gases as well as ash, cinders, and bombs
