Two things need to be consider here;

  • Location that is how close is the magma chamber and the surface
  • Disturbances beneath the earth(stress of the convection current)which can determine the pressure exerted below the earth,do influence or control the violence of volcanoes

What type of eruptions does Mt Pinatubo have and what causes the eruption to be violent or non-violent?

Mt. Pinatubo is known to have explosive eruptions. The violence of an eruption is influenced by the amount of dissolved gas in the magma, the viscosity of the magma, and the presence of water or other fluids. If the magma has high gas content, is highly viscous, and interacts with water, it can lead to a more violent eruption.


What are the types of eruptions?

Volcanic eruption can be classified mainly based on the name of the volcano. They are Surtseyan eruption, Plinian eruption, Vulcanian eruption, Strombolian eruption and Hawaiian eruption.


When Mount Vesuvius last erupted did the lava have high or low viscosity?

The lava from Mount Vesuvius during its last eruption in 1944 had high viscosity, meaning it was thick and flowed slowly. This type of lava often leads to explosive eruptions and can create steep-sided volcanoes.

What are 2 factor that determine the degree of violence with which a volcano erupts?

Two key factors that determine the degree of violence in a volcanic eruption are magma viscosity and gas content. High-viscosity magma, such as that rich in silica, tends to trap gases, leading to increased pressure and more explosive eruptions. Conversely, low-viscosity magma allows gases to escape more freely, resulting in less violent eruptions. Additionally, the amount of dissolved gases, such as water vapor and carbon dioxide, influences the eruption's explosiveness.

What are three factors that affect the violence of a volcanic eruption?

Three factors that affect the violence of a volcanic eruption are the composition of the magma (viscosity and gas content), the location of the eruption (proximity to populated areas), and the type of volcano (shield, cinder cone, stratovolcano).
