What are the 3types of volcanoes?
Cinder cone, stratovolcano, shield volcano
What type of volcano is a composite volcano?
Mt. Vesuvius in Italy, Mt. Hood in Oregon and Mt. saint Helen's
What type of volcano is typically the tallest?
Cone volcanoes are typically the tallest and largest. The two other types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes.
What are 4 types of volcanoes?
AnswerVolcanoes can be active or inactive. When a volcano is active there is magma or lava moving around getting ready to make an explosion. When a volcano is inactive there is either rocks and bits of other stuff melting in the main vent making magma getting ready to become active or they are not doing anything, just sitting there like a mountain.The four main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, also called stratovolcanoes, cinder cones, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes are the most abundant, and an example is Mount Fuji in Japan. These volcanoes are formed from layers of ash. In contrast, shield volcanoes are gently sloping volcanic mountains built almost fully of lava flows. They were named on account of their shape , which is reminiscent of an ancient warrior's shield. These volcanoes are typically much larger then composite volcanoes. Lava domes and Cinder cones are much smaller than shield or composite volcanoes.AnswerThey are, cinder cone, composite cone, shield cone, and extinct volcano.
Compare and contrast composite and cinder cone volcanoes?
Cinder volcanoes have more of funnel shape with a crater like top while a composite volcano simply has an opening at the tip where the lava comes out.

How is popocatepetl different from other volcanoes?
It is a super volcano, which is basically super big and super powerful
What does a composite have to do with volcanoes?
Stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes are tall conical mountains composed of lava flows and other ejecta in alternate layers, the strata that gives rise to the name. Stratovolcanoes are also known as composite volcanoes because they are created from multiple structures during different kinds of eruptions.
What are the three types of volcanoes and how are they formed?
An active volcanoe is erupting or has erupted recently. A dormant volcano has not erupted recently, but may erupt again in the future. It could be considered as "sleeping". An extinct volcano will never erupt again.
What is the most dangerous kind of volcano?
In general, composite volcanoes are the most dangerous volcanoes because they are more explosive than the other types.
How is the Alaska volcano not the youngest volcano?
After the Alaska volcano formed, other volcanoes have formed.
Compare shield volcanoes to composite volcanoes?
A shield volcano is made from lava flows that flow far, making a very wide, not very steep mountain. A cinder cone volcano is the most common type of volcano. It is formed from volcanic fragments and is very steep sided, although not always extremely tall. They usually have just one main vent, and can also sometimes form from a vent of a larger volcano, growing and becoming a whole new volcano. Composite volcanoes resemble very large cinder cone volcanoes at first, but have bigger particles making them up usually and also have multiple vents more often. They also are potentially more explosive.
