Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes
The hole in the top of a volcano?
The top of a volcano may be a peak, lava dome, vent, crater, or caldera (empty magma chamber), depending on the state of the volcano. The top of any mountain can be called its summit.
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
Is a shield volcano and a lava dome volcano the same?
No. A shield volcano is a large, broad sloping volcano that forms over a long period of time as successive low-viscosity basaltic lava flows build on top of one another. A lava dome is a smaller, steep-sloped structure that forms fairly quickly as very viscous lava (usually rhyolite or dacite) builds up, but is too viscous to flow away.
How are Pillow Lava and Pahoehoe lava the same?
Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
How are lava plateaus and dome mountains the same?
magma extrusions, lava plateau on surface, dome underground then eroded.
Is a Dome volcano the same as a Lava Dome volcano?
Yes
Dome is to mountain as redwood is to what?
dome is to mountain as redwood is to forest woods and forests are the same

Are dome and upwarped mountains the same thing?
Yes (It's more formally known as a dome mountain)

Are plateau the same thing as mountains?
No, plateaus and mountains are not the same thing. A plateau is a flat elevated landform, while a mountain is a elevated landform with a peak or summit. Plateaus are generally larger and flatter compared to mountains.
Are mountains the same as volcanoEs?
Similar but not the same, volcanoes erupt from magma and lava and rocks come out but not in a mountain
What meterial makes up a volcano?
rock. same as a mountain. magma makes up the lava.

Both pillow lava and pahoehoe lava have about the same composition and harden into a kind of rock called basalt.
Is the outside of a volcano hot?
Not usually. Normally the outside of a volcano is the same temperature as an ordinary mountain of the same height. It will be hot, however, if there is an active lava flow or newly deposited hot ash on it.
