It is both. A stratovolcano and a composite volcano are the same thing.
Mt. Rainier is a stratovolcano composed primarily of rhyolite or rhyo-dacite. This means that the volcano has the potential for highly explosive eruptions, similar to other volcanoes in it's arc. Rainier is part of the Cascades Volcanic Arc, which is the same volcanic arc as Mt. St. Helens.
Mount Rainier is a composite volcano.
Mount Rainier is not a cinder cone volcano. It is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, which is characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Stratovolcanoes like Mount Rainier are typically larger and more explosive than cinder cone volcanoes.
Yes. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano with the potential to produce explosive eruptions.
where will i get this stupid answer? really you guys useless idiots
