    Explanation :

    Hawaiian types of volcanic eruptions is not usually explosive. Hawaiian eruptions are the calmest of the eruption types. They are characterized by the effusive emission of highly fluid basalt lavas with low gas contents. The relative volume of ejected pyroclastic material is less than that of all other eruption types.
