- How fast or slow the magma moves
- The temperature
- The amount of dissolved gas
- The amount of pressure

What factors determine whether a volcano has a violent or quiet eruption?
A volcano erupts when enough pressure builds up inside of it to unplug it's crater. The stronger the plug, the more force is needed to expel it, which results in a more violent eruption. Also, the stickiness of the lava is a factor. The more sticky the lava, the stronger the eruption.
How could a family stay safe during a volcano eruption or an earthquake?
For a volcano eruption, the family can be safe because of the distance between them and the volcano whereas for an earthquake it may happen if the calamity's force is weak.
What effects the force of a volcanic eruption?
Pressure underneath the skin of the volcano called plasma.
Identify and explain the 3 factors that effect the force of a volcanic eruption?
The silica content effects the force of a volcanic eruption because magma with a lot of silica is thicker and magma with less silica is thinner. The amount of dissolved gases in magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the less gas in the magma, the less pressure will be inside the volcano. The temperature of the magma effects the force of a volcanic eruption because the hotter the magma, the more runny it is.
Does magma sometimes force it's way out of the side of a volcano through a vent?
Yes, magma can sometimes force its way out of the side of a volcano through a vent. This is known as a lateral eruption or a flank eruption. It occurs when the pressure of the magma becomes too high and finds a weak point on the volcano's side to escape from.

How many people are killed during a volcano eruption?
Usually everyone in the way of the lava or the force of the eruption, unless everyone is evacuated.

Name at least two factors that determine force of impact?
One of the factors that determine force of impact is the object's mass. Another factor that will determine the force of impact is the object's velocity.
How is the strength of a volcanic eruption related to the magma in the volcano?
If the magma is more viscous, the eruption is stronger.
Can dissolved minerals trapped in magma under tremendous pressure provide the force for a volcanic eruption?
No. Dissolved gasses trapped under pressure provide the force.
How many times did the mayon volcano erupt and what is the number of casualities or damage and force of eruption?
47 times in last 400 years?
What is the driving force of a volcanic eruption?
Rising magma forced up as the result of plate tectonics, gravity, or what have you places incredible pressure on sides of the volcano and causes it to bulge. When the pressure becomes too great and the volcano rips open to release the pressure, an eruption begins.
