What are the 4 types of volcanoes which exist and what type of lava do they produce?
shield, cinder cone, composite, and dome. They produce basaltic lava, rhyolite lava and andesite lava.
What materials does the composite volcano have after erupting?
Eruptions from composite volcanoes vary. Some eruptions will produce ash and pumice, some produce volcanic bombs, while still others produce lava flows.
What is the lava flow for a composite volcano?
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.
What kind of lava do Composite Volcanoes have?
The textbook answer would be granitic or rhyolitic lava. In reality composite volcanoes are highly variable, erupting the full range from basaltic to rhyolitic (granitic) materal and everything in between includin andesite and dacite. One composite volcano in Africa erupts unique carbonatite lava.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes

What kind of volcanoes are there?
There are four main types of volcanoes. These include shield volcanoes, cinder cones, composite volcanoes, and lava domes.
What kind of mafic lava do composite volcanoes have?
Composite volcanoes usually do not erupt mafic material. Intermediate material is the most common. The mafic material they do erupt is usually basalt.

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.
Are composite volcanoes predominantly erupting with lava flows?
No. Composite volcanoes erupt mostly ash and pumice.
Is composite volcano made of entirely running lava?
Shield Volcanoes are made out of running lava. Not composite.

Why is it that pahoehoe and AA lava are more frequent in shield volcanoes than in composite volcanoes?
Aa and pahoehoe lavas are both basaltic in composition. The lava from composite volcanoes is likely to be granitic.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes
What forms from lava that is higher in water and silica content than lava that forms shield volcanoes?
Cinder-Cone Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes
What is the type of lava in the composite volcanoes?
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.
