Nonexplosive eruptions typically produce lava flows, which are molten rock that emerges from the volcano and flows slowly down its slopes. This type of eruption is characterized by the relatively gentle release of magma and gas, without the violent ejection of material seen in explosive eruptions.
Magma that is low in silica and produces nonexplosive eruptions is called basaltic magma. As basaltic magma has a low viscosity due to its low silica content, it tends to flow more easily, resulting in nonexplosive eruptions with lava flows.
In a nonexplosive eruption, magma is relatively low in viscosity and gas content, allowing it to flow more easily. This type of eruption typically results in the effusion of lava flow from the volcano. Nonexplosive eruptions are generally less violent compared to explosive eruptions.
