1. Quiet is the continual mostly silent flow of lava downhill, and venting of gases, like at Kilauea in Hawaii.
2. Explosive means huge amounts of energy are released over a very short period of time, as in the 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption.

A quiet volcanic eruption is when the lava just oozes out. An explosive volcanic eruption is when the lava shoots out.

A quite eruption is like the volcano in Hawai. It only leaks out lava, smoke and it melts to form crust (or land). The explosive eruption can cause it to leak out lave, smoke and throw of rocks made of dried lava and create a really big cloud and block of sun light creating its heat to contain under the cload and not letting it escape which is making the land warmer.
