When an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide, it forms a volcano. The oceanic plate subducts underneath the continental plate.

As the oceanic plate slides underneath, a magma chamber is formed. This magma chamber is what feeds the volcano.

No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.

What is the shape of a volcano formed by fast-flowing lava?

Well it depends on how bad the lava flow is. If the lava is flowing slow then the shape of the volcano won't change much, But if it flows with force then bits of the volcano will fall off and change the shape of the volcano. Hope this answer helps!!


A volcano formed over time from thousands of lava eruptions that deposit layer after layer of new crust?

Yes, volcanoes are formed by the accumulation of lava and volcanic materials over time from repeated eruptions. As the lava cools and solidifies, it builds up to create the structure of the volcano. This continuous process can lead to the formation of a cone-shaped volcano with layers of hardened lava.


How is lava bombs made?
