magma that is low on silica & thin and runny & it flows easily
Magma with low viscosity, such as basaltic magma, typically causes quiet eruptions. This type of magma flows easily and allows gases to escape, resulting in relatively gentle eruptions with less explosive activity.
Oceanic-to-Oceanic plate boundary triggers the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.Transform plate boundaries trigger the formation of active volcanoes as magma rises beneath the surface.
Gaseous thick magma equals massive explosion.
Basaltic magma is generally characterized as having low viscosity and is associated with non-violent or relatively quiet volcanic eruptions. Its low silica content allows it to flow easily, enabling lava to travel great distances. This type of magma is commonly found in shield volcanoes, where gentle eruptions lead to the formation of broad, gently sloping landforms. Examples include the eruptions of Hawaii's Mauna Loa and Kilauea volcanoes.
Viscous, gaseous magma, usually of high acidity as compared to basalt.

That would normally be magma with a low silica content.

Cinder cone volcanoes are formed by basaltic magma.

There are divergent boundries which causes Shield Volcanoes(an ocean volcano) and there a subducting boundries which causes a composite volcano(land volcano) there is also a cinder cone but that is made from a magma chamber(a place where magma is stored beneath the volcano and in the earths crust) explodes from being overfilled and layers upon layers form.
Highly explosive volcanoes tend to have thick and viscous magma with high silica content. This type of magma traps gases, leading to pressure buildup and explosive eruptions. Examples of explosive volcanoes include stratovolcanoes like Mount St. Helens.
I think it is violent because volcanoes are NEVER quiet there always loud
