What else can I help you with?
What is 4 types of volcanos?
Actually, there are three types: composite, cinder cone, and shield.
What is the smallest type of volcano shield composite or cinder cone?
In general, cinder cone volcanos are the smallest.
How do you classify volcanic rocks?
There are three types of volcanos, shield, cinder, and composite volcanos. Cinder volcanos are the smallest, while shield volcanos are the largest. Composite volcanos are the most dangerous and the most explosive.
What are the 3 kinds of volcanoes?
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gently sloping sides and are formed by layers of lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes built from explosive eruptions that eject fragmented rock.
Are there any kind of volcanos?
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
A composite volcano is a combination of a cinder cone and a shield cone. The top of a composite volcano is steep like a cinder cone. The bottom of a composite volcano is flatter, like a shield volcano.
What is the formation of shield volcanos?
Shield volcanoes are from by divergent boundary's.
How tall is a shield volcanos?
about 89 meters
What is the name of the shield volcano?
One of the names of shield volcanos is Mauna Loa and Prestahunkur.
What are shield volcanos made of?
Shield volcanoes are composed mostly of layers of basaltic lava flows.
What are the 3 types of valcanoes?
There are four basic types of volcanos. They are cinder cones, shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes share some characteristics of all the others.
