No. Cinder cones are the most common variety.
Not exactly. Some volcanoes do consist of simply a lava dome, but most lava domes are found in or on stratovolcanoes.
Shield volcanoes are the largest of the three types of volcanoes, built from basaltic lava flows and shaped like a gentle dome. Cinder cone volcanoes have very steep slopes and reach heights of 300 meters or less, and are made from ejected lava. Composite Cone Volcanoes are large symmetrical cones made from viscous lavas that are extruded, and they are the most violent volcanoes of the three.
A lava dome is most likely to form at a convergent boundary.
Lava dome volcanoes typically have a rounded or steep-sided shape, resembling a dome or mound. They are formed by the slow extrusion of highly viscous lava, which doesn't flow far from the vent and piles up around it. The lava cools and solidifies, gradually building up the dome over time.
its a volcanoe with a dome shape top it has bad eruptions.Dome volcanos are compsite volcanos which have a lava dome in them. The lava dome is created when moulten lava is pushed up from below at slow rates and when it hits the air it cools making a crust. These domes can continue to grow and become quite large.
The volcanoes are located in various spots around Lava Isle, and surrounding isles. Most are in the maze on Lava Isle.
Most volcanoes in Hawaii are active, meaning that they still erupt. Volcanoes that are not active are referred to as dormant.
The highest viscosity lava is rhyolite. Rhyolitic lava tends to form dome-shaped volcanoes and tends to cause explosive eruptions.
Most composite volcanoes are comprised of Andesitic lava. Andesetic lava has an intermediate silica content compared to granitic with a high silica content and basaltic with a low silica content.
They are classified according to their size, shape, style of eruption and the materials that compose them. * Shield volcanoes: large, gently sloping volcanoes composed of layers of basaltic lava flows. They produce mostly effusive eruptions. Examples include Kilauea, Mauna Loa, and Erta Ale * Stratovolcanoes (also called composite volcanoes or composite cones): Large volcanoes with steel slopes composed of ash and lava flows. These volcanoes often produce explosive eruptions, though lava flows can occur too. These volcanoes can erupt a variety of material. Examples include Mount St. Helens, Mount Pinatubo, and Mount Vesuvius. * Cinder cones: Smaller, steep sloped volcanoes composed of chunks of rock called cinders. They have mildly explosive eruptions that produce fountains of lava. Cinder cones can sometimes be found on top of or on the flanks of stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes. Examples include Paricutin, Sunset Crater * Lava domes: These are domes of very viscous rhyolitic lava that build up. Most lava domes are part of a stratovolcano rather than volcanoes in and of themselves. Novarupta is an example of a lava dome. * Calderas: These are massive volcanic craters that form during cataclysmic explosive eruptions when a volcano collapses into the empty space left behind by erupted magma. Most calderas form from stratovolcanoes, and in many cases can be classified as both. Examples of stratovolcanoes that have become calderas include Mount Tambora, Mount Mazama, and Krakatoa. There are four calderas in Yellowstone National Park that likely never involved a stratovolcano as the Yellowstone volcano covers too large of an area to build a mountain. They are classified according to their size,shape,and the materials that compose them.
Volcanoes can cause lava flows and large amounts of ash. They might be associated with earthquakes as well.
Volcanoes come in many types, such as scoria volcanoes (mafic, small, not very explosive),shield volcanoes (large, mafic, mild eruptions of large volumes of lava), composite volcanoes (large, traditional cone shape, most deadly), lava domes (felsic, explosive, usually found with other volcanoes), fissures ( lava erups through fractures, mafic), and canderas (steep-walled depression, very large).
