Did mt rainier start underwater?
No. Mount Rainier formed on land as did the other Cascade volcanoes.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes
How do composite volcanoes form?
Composite Volcanoes form when one plate sinks under another.I hOpE tHiS hElPeD yOu

Four landforms created from lava and ash?
Three landforms that can be created from ash are cinder cone volcanoes, composite volcanoes, and shield volcanoes. Lava plateaus can also be formed.

What are things that cinder cone and composite volcanoes have incommon?
They're all volcanoes..., they are both formed by plates overlapping or clashing together
What are the different types of volcanoe?
Volcanoes are grouped into four types: cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes and lava volcanoes. They are: Cinder Cones: They are circular or oval cones made up of small fragments of lava from a single vent. They have been blown into the air, cooled, and fallen around the vent. Composite: They are steel-sides and composed of many layers of volcanic rocks. Mt. Rainier and Mount St. Helens are examples of this type of volcano. Shield: Shaped like a bowl or shield in the middle, they have long gentle slopes made of basaltic lava flows. The volcanoes that formed the basalt of the Columbia Plateau were shield volcanoes. Lava Volcanoes: Deep sided mound formed by lava that is too thick to flow. The lava piles up near the vent.
What volcano caused mt rainier to form?
Mount Rainier is the volcano that formed the mountain. They are one in the same.
What type of valcano is Mount Saint Helens?
Mt. Saint Helens is a composite volcano. Composite volcanoes are formed by some alternating layers of tephra (rock debris thrown into the air by volcanic eruptions) and lava. Composite volcanoes usually erupt violently and are large and steep-sided.
A volcano formed over time from thousands of lava eruptions that deposit layer after layer of new crust?
A composite volcano is formed over time from thousands of lava eruptions that form layer after layer of new crust. These composite volcanoes are the most prevalent type of volcano.
