Does a volcano has both quiet and explosive eruptions?
A volcanic eruption is more explosive if the magma or lava has a high viscosity, which means it is thick. A volcano like MT Kilauea in Hawaii has thinner magma which flows more freely from the volcano. If it's thicker more gas is created and it can also cause blockages which make for a larger explosion.
What is the difference between a crater and a caldera?
A caldera is a large depression formed at the summit of a volcano, left behind by the excavation of magma. A crater is formed by an explosion or impact.
Which is more likely to be dangerous-a volcano that erupts frequently or a volcano that has been inactive for a hundred years?
a volcano that hasn't been active for a hundred years because of viscosity which is the resistance to flow and one that has been inactive for a hundred years would have a low viscosity and would stick more for a better but more dangerous explosion.
