Volcanoes erupt infrequently more destructive and active than volcanoes that erupt continuously because the volcano that didn't erupt in a while had more pressure than the volcano that erupts constantly. When more pressure builds up, gas wants to get out as soon as possible. When it does, the magma comes out, it pushes and pushes out since all thee pressure builded up.
