Cinder cones are the most potentially dangerous volcanoes because they generate the most explosive eruptions?

Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
Is a cinder cone volcano non explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes produce small explosive eruptions.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes
What cone volcano is small and explosive?
Cinder cone volcanoes are small with mildly explosive eruptions.
Are shield volcanoes explosive?
Very rarely. Shield volcanoes are formed from the eruption of low-viscosity, gas-poor magma which has very little potential to explode. On rare occasions explosive eruptions may occur when magma comes in contact with groundwater.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet eruptions and explosive eruptions?
Shielf volcanoes generally produce "quiet" eruptions. Explosive eruptions are rare.
Do shield volcanoes produce quiet or explosive eruptions?
Eruptions at shield volcanoes are almost always non-explosive.
Why do the volcanoes in Japan have explosive eruptions?
Volcanoes in Japan have explosive eruptions because there is a a magma chamber that has not completely move along the mantle yet so when it erupts it has explosive eruptions.

Name the different types of volcanoes according to their shape?
There are three types of volcanoes which have different shapes and types of eruptions. * Shield Volcanoes - are low and flat and have small, flowing eruptions. * Composite Volcanoes - are a mixture between shield volcanoes and cone volcanoes, their eruptions are explosive. * Cone Volcanoes - are the tallest and largest volcanoes, and they have VERY explosive eruptions.
