Acidic lava is very viscous, and thus will harden and block the vent. The magma will force its way out through the vent and create a violent explosion.

Thick due to high silica content.
Colima produces explosive eruptions, characterized by the sudden release of gas, ash, and magma. These eruptions can generate pyroclastic flows, lava flows, and volcanic ash plumes.
Pahoehoe is typically formed from low-viscosity basaltic magma that is rich in iron and magnesium. This type of magma allows for the smooth, rope-like texture characteristic of pahoehoe lava flows.
felsic magma, which has high viscosity due to its high silica content. This high viscosity can lead to the build-up of pressure and gas bubbles, resulting in explosive eruptions.
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.

A decomposition reaction produces smaller compounds by breaking down a single reactant into multiple smaller products. This type of reaction is typically driven by heat, light, electricity, or a catalyst.
The type of reaction that involves oxygen and produces light and heat is a combustion reaction.

EyjafjallajΓΆkull volcano in Iceland produces andesitic magma, which is a type of intermediate magma that has a silica content between basaltic and rhyolitic magmas. This type of magma can lead to explosive eruptions due to its high viscosity, gas content, and tendency to form pyroclastic flows.
