and volcanoes are linked severe weather events.
respond to the following based on your reading.
9. briefly describe what causes a volcanic eruption to be explosive.

silica

caldera

viscous

denser

subduction

divergence

hot spots

earthquakes

Explosions from composite volcanoes occur as a result of gas buildup within them. Shield volcanoes also may erupt explosively if water accumulates inside their vents.

    The response to all these is earthquakes

9. An explosive eruption is a very violent type of volcanic eruption and can be caused when enough gas has dissolved under pressure in a viscous magma in a way that when the lava is expelled it froths into volcanic ash when pressure is low at its vent

Explanation:

An explosive eruption is a very violent type of volcanic eruption and can be caused when enough gas has dissolved under pressure in a viscous magma in a way that when the lava is expelled it froths into volcanic ash when pressure is low at its vent
