What causes the difference between quiet eruptions and violent eruptions?

During a quiet eruption lava flows from vents, setting fire to, and then burying, everything in its path.
During an explosive eruption, a volcano can belch out hot clouds of deadly gases as well as ash, cinders, and bombs

a quiet eruption just has small lava flows
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThey both most commonly occur at or near to the boundaries of tectonic plates.
They both also have the potential to cause significant damage.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoQuiet erruptions mean the lava lets gas bubbles escape easily causing an overflow of lava. Explosive eruptions mean gas bubbles are traped inside the magma causing lots of tephra and smoke.

What causes the most violent eruptions in volcanoes?
high viscosity in magma composition.
What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
What is the magma composition causes the most violent volcanic eruptions explain?
Felsic magmas produce the most violent reputations. This is because felsic magmas are the most viscous and thus can hold the most gasses. These trapped gases can expand explosively when they reach lower pressure near the surface.
Difference in a charge between two electrodes in a cell causes a ----between electrodes?
Potential difference.
What causes events such such as earthquakes volcanic eruptions and the creation of mountains?
lithospheric plate movement
What causes the most violent eruptions in volcanoes?
high viscosity in magma composition.
What type of magma causes violent erpuptions?
Highly viscous felsic magma causes the most violent volcanic eruptions.
What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?
what causes a eruption to be liolent is the type of lava -felsic lava is non-violent -mafic lava is violent
What causes the difference between quiet and exploses eruptions?
It depends on how much silica is in the magma. If there is low-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt quietly. If there is high-silica in the magma then the volcano will erupt explosively.
What is the process of mt merapi's eruptions?
They don't know the process of Mt Merap's eruptions because they have not found out what causes the eruptions
What natural disasters can cause rapid changes into an environment?
Some causes can be catastrophic events such as tornadoes, hurricanes, thunder storms, El Nino, volcano eruptions, etc.
What causes the difference between breccias and conglomerante?
The difference between breccias and conglomerate is that breccias are angular and conglomerates are smooth. What causes rocks to be smooth is transportation, such as when rocks are in a stream and are worn down. Therefore transportation is what causes the difference between breccias and conglomerates.
What is the magma composition causes the most violent volcanic eruptions explain?
Felsic magmas produce the most violent reputations. This is because felsic magmas are the most viscous and thus can hold the most gasses. These trapped gases can expand explosively when they reach lower pressure near the surface.
