the stratovolcano
Paricutin is an explosive volcano. It is classified as a scoria cone volcano, which is a type of volcanic cone that is formed by explosive eruptions. Paricutin's eruptions were characterized by the ejection of molten rock fragments, ash, and gases, leading to the formation of a cone-shaped structure. The explosive nature of Paricutin's eruptions is attributed to the high gas content and viscosity of the magma beneath the volcano.
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
Cinder cone volcanoes are small with mildly explosive eruptions.
the stratovolcano
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is known for its explosive eruptions caused by thick, viscous magma that traps high levels of gas. When the pressure builds up and is released suddenly, it results in explosive eruptions that can be highly destructive. Examples include Mount St. Helens in the USA and Mount Fuji in Japan.
A: it can have explosive eruptions
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
No. A supervolcano is a volcano that is capable of producing extremely large explosive eruptions. Kilauea is a shield volcano. Most of its eruptions are non-explosive or only mildly explosive.
Explosive eruptions will produce pyroclastic rocks such as scoria, pumice, and tuff.
Generally not. Explosive eruptions may happen occasionally, but most eruptions are effusive.
quiet and explosive
