Composite volcanoes are highly variable in how and what they erupt. In some cases composite volcanoes produce extremely viscous blocky lava flows of andesite or rhyolite. In other cases they may produce pahoehoe or a'a flows of basaltic lava. In many cases eruptions are explosive, producing clouds of ash and pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.

∙ 10y agoThe lava itself usually does not, though there are some exceptions. However, composite volcanoes produce something else called pyroclastic flows. These are hot-fast moving currents of superheated ash, gas, and rock fragments. They move faster than any lava flow.

Is Mt Erebus an active volcano?
It is a lava flow, and has an AA (ah-ah) lava flow
Which type of volcano conists of layers of lava flow and pyroclastic material?
A composite cone is the type of volcano that consists of layers of lava flows and pyroclastic material. A stratovolcano is an example of a composite cone.
What flow from volcano?
lava
Does lava flow from a shield volcano?
Yes lava flows from a shield volcano.
What type of lava comes out of tinakula?
stratovolcano also known as a composite volcano
What volcano has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava?
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
What type of eruption does composite volcano have?
The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption

Does a composite volcano have a mixture of both heavy and light rocks?
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 !!
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
What kind of eruption form composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
What flow from volcano?
lava
Does lava flow from a shield volcano?

Is composite volcano made of entirely running lava?
Shield Volcanoes are made out of running lava. Not composite.
What type of lava comes out of tinakula?
stratovolcano also known as a composite volcano
Is Augustine volcano a composite volcano?
Yes, with its thick lava alternating with layers of ash,cinders, and rocks, its definitly a composite volcano.
