Was Mount Tambora a composite cone or a cinder cone or a shield dome or a lava dome?
Tambora was a composite cone.
Which type of volcano conists of layers of lava flow and pyroclastic material?
A composite cone is the type of volcano that consists of layers of lava flows and pyroclastic material. A stratovolcano is an example of a composite cone.
Which type of volcano has alternate of ash and lava?
the composite cone
What are the kinds of cone volcanoes?
There are three kinds of cone volcanoes shield cones, composite cones, and cinder cones. Shield cones have very fluid lava. They erupt with a quiet lava flow. An example of a shield cone volcano is Mauna Loa. A shield cone is pretty much a little dome that has been flattened. Composite cones have sticky lava and rock bits. They have the most explosive eruptions An example of a composite cone volcano is Vesuvius. Composite cones are steep at the top but gentle at the bottom. Cinder cones have cinders. They have explosive eruptions An example is Paricutin. A cinder cone is very steep.
What are the four main volcanic forms?
* Cinder Cone * Composite * Shield * Lava Dome
What Materials are in a composite cone volcano?
lava and tephra. walla walla bing bang
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
What are the 4 types of volcanoes which exist and what type of lava do they produce?
shield, cinder cone, composite, and dome. They produce basaltic lava, rhyolite lava and andesite lava.
Do shield or composite or cinder cone or caldera volcanoes have alternate layers of ash and lava?
Composite VolcanoesComposite Volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are tall, cone shaped mountains in which alternate layers of lava alternate with layers of ash. This happens when smooth lava flows alternate with explosive eruptions of lava fragments.
Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
Composite volcano?
A volcano whose cone is made up of alternate layers of ash and lava.
What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
