quiet
A shield cone is a type of volcanic cone that is formed from the eruption of low-viscosity lava, typically basaltic lava. It has gentle slopes and a broad, rounded shape, resembling a warrior's shield laid on the ground. Shield cones are typically associated with non-explosive eruptions and are common in areas of volcanic activity such as Hawaii.
A layer of composite cone formed by quiet eruption will have alternating layers of ash and lava flows, with gentle slopes. In contrast, a layer formed by explosive eruption will have predominantly pyroclastic materials like ash and pumice, with steep slopes and a more jagged appearance due to the explosive nature of the eruptions.
A cinder cone volcano typically has quiet eruptions, characterized by the ejection of small fragments of lava and ash. Composite volcanoes can have both quiet and explosive eruptions, due to the buildup of pressure from the highly viscous magma. Shield volcanoes generally have non-explosive eruptions, with flowing lava that travels long distances.
Mount Pelee is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano. It is known for its explosive eruptions due to the composition of its magma. Shield volcanoes, on the other hand, are characterized by their broad, gently sloping profile and quiet, non-explosive eruptions.
explosive
Answer by FutureLPGAgolferComposite Cone - Alternation between quiet and explosive volcanoes.
Paricutin produced mildly explosive eruptions, as is typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Cinder cone volcanoes are generally considered to be non-explosive compared to stratovolcanoes. They typically erupt with fire fountains and release lava flows rather than explosive eruptions with ash and pyroclastic flows. However, some cinder cone eruptions can exhibit some degree of explosivity depending on the gas content of the magma.
A Shield Cone Volcano
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano formed by both lava flows and explosive eruptions. It is not a cinder cone or shield volcano.
A cinder cone volcano is typically characterized by relatively quiet volcanic activity, with eruptions consisting of gas-rich magma that produces small explosions and emits ash, cinders, and lava fragments. These eruptions are generally not as explosive or violent as those of stratovolcanoes or calderas.
A sheild cone is volcano that is sorta flat and gently sloping up.
