ViviMount Fuji typically has non-explosive eruptions, which are characterized by the slow release of lava and volcanic gases. However, there is also some evidence of explosive eruptions occurring in the past, which have produced ash clouds and pyroclastic flows.

Is mt shasta a explosive or a non-explosive volcano?
Mount Shasta is considered a potentially explosive stratovolcano due to its composition of andesite and dacite lava which can lead to explosive eruptions. However, its most recent eruptions have been relatively non-explosive with mainly effusive lava flows.
Is mt st helens non-explosive or explosive?
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Is Mount Rainier an explosive or non explosive volcano why or why not?
Mount Rainier is considered an explosive volcano due to its thick, sticky lava that tends to trap gases which can lead to violent eruptions. Additionally, the presence of significant amounts of water in the volcanic system can further amplify the explosivity of eruptions.
Is mount pelee a cinder cone composite or shield?
Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano. It is known for its explosive eruptions due to the composition of its magma. Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profile and quiet, non-explosive eruptions.
Is a Stratovolcano an explosive volcano?
Yes. Stratovolcanoes usually alternate between explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
