∙ 11y agothey are all different types of volcanoes. A shield volcano generally erupts low viscosity lava with a low silica content. Eruptions are generally not explosive. Such volcanoes are characterized by broad, gentle slopes.
A composite volcano or stratovolcano is composed of layers of ash and lava flows. Such volcanoes tend to erupt higher viscosity material with a higher silica content. Eruptions are often explosive, producing plumes of ash, gas, and pumice instead of lava flows. They arch characterized by steep slopes.

What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Is a composite volcano bigger than a shield volcano and a cinder volcano?
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii. The largest known volcano anywhere is Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars.
How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
What are the 3 common types of plutons?
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.
Are there only three types of volcanoes?
No, there are six types of volcano. Fissure, shield, dome, caldera, ash-cinder (sometimes called cone), and composite.
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
Does granitic lava come out of a cinder cone volcano?
No. Cinder cones erupr basaltic and occasionally andesitic lava. "Granitic" lava, called rhyolitic when it is erupted, erupts primarily from composite volcanoes (also called stratovolcanoes), and some caldera volcanoes.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
How are cinder volcanoes different from composite volcanoes?
Cinder cone volcanoes are much shorter and a little bit wider.
Is a composite volcano bigger than a shield volcano and a cinder volcano?
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii.

Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
What are the three types of volocanoes?
Shield Volcanoes, Cinder Cone volcanoes, and Composite Volcanoes.
What are all kinds of volcanoes?
The main types of volcanoes are cinder cone, shield, and composite volcanoes. there are also big,little, and meideium ones
What are the 3types of volcanoes?
Cinder cone, stratovolcano, shield volcano
