Lava can be explosive if it is high in gas content, such as dissolved water vapor or carbon dioxide, which can cause pressure to build up and lead to explosive eruptions. On the other hand, lava can be non-explosive if it is low in gas content and flows more easily without building up pressure, resulting in effusive eruptions with slower lava flows.
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.

Paricutin is an explosive volcano. It is known for its violent eruptions that have produced lava flows, ash clouds, and explosions.
A quiet, non explosive eruption. Silica-high lava produces explosive eruptions.
Mount 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.

Magma and lava also crust?
Basic lava is low in viscosity.

Lava because pyroclastic material explodes from a volcano, Lava just runs down the surface of the volcano nonexplosive or explosive.
No. A lava flow usually indicates an eruption that is not explosive.
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
