Types of volcanoes

Question 1

Shield volcanoes

Answer 1

A few silver option where large quantities of lava Paul from central vent lava travel long distances for solidifying produces large tall volcanos with gently sloping slides eruptions are frequent but not explosive occur at diverting plate margins and hotspots

Examples of this are in

Muana los Hawaii

Question 2

Composite ( Strato volcano )

Answer 2

Made of many layers of solidified lava lava flow flowing and solidifies quickly produce a steeply sloping slides that occurs and explosive eruptions often the vent has become blocked with solidified lava occurs at converging plate margins

Example mt Fuji Japan

Question 3

Cinder volcanoes

Answer 3

Gas falls is lava high into the air fragments cool and for produces a short symmetric count with relatively slow steep slides and crater at the top often occur on side of shield or composite volcanos many are formed from just one eruption

Example sunset crater Arizona

Question 4

Acid volcano ( dome )

Answer 4

Fiscus acid lava erupts effusively but cannot flow far before solidifying

Lava build up to form steep sided cone

Lassen peak California

Question 5

Caldera

Answer 5

Gas trapped in magma chamber eventually cause na extremely explosive eruption
