Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
yes a composite volano is both quiet and explosive
A composite volcano is the most explosive type of volcano there is. Mt. St. Helens and Mt.Vesuvious in Pompeii are both examples of composite volcanoes, and look at the damage they did. a composite volcano usually has pyroclastic flows to accompany the traditional lava and ash.
Answer by FutureLPGAgolferComposite Cone - Alternation between quiet and explosive volcanoes.
Surprisingly, yes. There's a volcano in New Zealand, Mt. Egmond that was made from both, a composite volcano.
No, Mauna Loa is not an explosive volcano. It tends to be non-explosive.
A cinder cone volcano typically has quiet eruptions, characterized by the ejection of small fragments of lava and ash. Composite volcanoes can have both quiet and explosive eruptions, due to the buildup of pressure from the highly viscous magma. Shield volcanoes generally have non-explosive eruptions, with flowing lava that travels long distances.
quiet and explosive
OH MY GOSH! IT'S A VOLCANO!!!! WHAT DO YOU THINK??? INCASE THAT WASNT ENOUGH, LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU........................LOUD!well some volcanoes are loud but some are quiet
Silica will determine if the volcano will be quiet or explosive by building itself up in the volcano pipe, plugging it up like a cork in a bottle and then exploding.
quiet and explosive
A composite volcano is called composite because it has alternating layers of lava and ash, formed by quiet lava flow after explosive eruptions. But yeah, it's definitely made up of both heavy and light rocks !!
Yes. The Yellowstone volcano has produced several VEI-8 eruptions, the most explosive level of eruption possible.
