Best Answer

a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
