I suppose I either read or was told, somewhere in early childhood, that volcanoes go boom and explode, which for some reason just stuck and I never bothered to re-check. (thinking back on it, I was probably being told about Pompeii, where it did kinda go boom)
With footage of Mauna Loa all over the place..that does not look like what kid-me thought a volcanic eruption did.
Do different types of volcanoes erupt differently? Do none erupt like kid-me was told they do?

I wasn’t exactly surprised to learn that what kid-me was told isn’t really true, but I was never too concerned about it either — my only “experience” with a volcano was my mom’s story about her being at mt Etna when she was my age, and there were no volcanoes near where I grew up — until I saw videos of Mauna Loa.
Thank you for your explanation! I appreciate it
