Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
Tambora was a composite cone.
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.
the composite cone
Mount Kenya is neither a composite cone, cinder cone, nor a shield cone. It is a complex stratovolcano made up of layers of lava and ash.

The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
shield, cinder cone, composite, and dome. They produce basaltic lava, rhyolite lava and andesite 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.
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.
A volcano whose cone is made up of alternate layers of ash and lava.
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
