The size of volcanoes increase as more magma comes up form the mantle. Some magma comes to the surface forming layers of ash and lava, (layers=strata that is why this kind of volcanoes are called Stratovolcanoes). some lava often will not come up to the surface but will still make the volcano larger. Lava that have not reached the surface will cool down slower allowing larger crystals to form.
volcanic mountains can increase in size but fold mountain cant
Mountains can both increase and decrease in size over time. Factors such as tectonic plate movement, erosion, and volcanic activity can lead to the growth or reduction of mountain size. Overall, the net effect of these processes determines whether a mountain increases or decreases in size.
A volcanic mountain.
No. Erosion wears mountains down, decreasing their size.
Magma is the underwater mountain of volcanic material. The underwater mountain of volcanic material is usually in molten rock.

A volcanic mountain can have a crater at its summit, which may contain a volcanic vent, lava dome, or caldera. The top of a volcanic mountain can also be covered in ash, rock debris, and volcanic gases.
I plan to make that the last volcanic mountain I ever climb.The volcanic mountain could be said to be sleeping right now.
isn't it obvious of course it is a volcanic mountain
Mount Shasta is a volcanic mountain in California.
the volcanic seven summits ?
yes it is a volcanic mt
