Lava is not explosive. Eruptions of magma from a volcano can be explosive or not, depending on the pressure pushing it up from deep below the Earth's surface and on how hot (thin) it is.
Mount Shasta is considered a potentially explosive stratovolcano due to its composition of andesite and dacite lava which can lead to explosive eruptions. However, its most recent eruptions have been relatively non-explosive with mainly effusive lava flows.
mud volcanos
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
Mount Fuji typically has non-explosive eruptions, which are characterized by the slow release of lava and volcanic gases. However, there is also some evidence of explosive eruptions occurring in the past, which have produced ash clouds and pyroclastic flows.
An explosive eruption is caused by magma with a high content of water and silica. Non-explosive eruptions are caused by either lava because it is a thicker consistency, or magma with a low content of water and silica.

Magma and lava also crust?
Basic lava is low in viscosity.

Lava because pyroclastic material explodes from a volcano, Lava just runs down the surface of the volcano nonexplosive or explosive.
No. A lava flow usually indicates an eruption that is not explosive.
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
