What are the environmental effects of a composite volcano when it erupts?

The ash and cinders erupted can bury entire villages and kill many people. The lava from composite volcanoes generally does not kill people because most lava from composite volcanoes is highly viscous lava moves slowly enough for people to move out of the way of the lava flow. However, it does destroy crops and the force of the lava can knock entire buildings down.

How can you tell that Mount Fuji is a composite volcano rather than a shield volcano?
The volcano is very wide it means that it has mafic magma. The composite volcanoes have mafic magma in them. When the volcano erupts the lava flows down really fast, but hardens really slowly causing the volcano to widen its width size.
What is called in a volcanoes that is not erupting?
You've got to be kidding me. A volcano that erupts often is called a cinder cone volcano, a volcano that does not erupt at all is called a shield volcano, and a volcano that can erupt but doesn't is a composite volcano. Here is the chart. Cinder cone: eruption Shield: dead Composite: sleep Hope you use my answer wisely. NOOBS!
