How do the composite volcano form their inner layers?
The inner layers are laid down by earlier eruptions, and are then buried under ash and lava from later eruptions.
What kind of volcano is komagatake?
The Komagatake volcano in Japan is classified as a stratovolcano. The definition of a stratovolcano is a volcano that is conical in shape and composed of layers of material expelled from previous eruptions.
How do you describe a composite volcano?
A composite volcano is composed of many layers of ash and cooled lava flows resulting from sequences of explosive and non-explosive eruptions. The arrangement of these layers can be quite complex.
Is Mount Rainier an explosive or non explosive volcano why or why not?
It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.
Name three types of volcano forms?
shield volcano- volcano with whide crater developing from layers of lavacinder cone- small volcano with steep sides and explosive eruptions made of ash and rocks.composite volcano- tall volcano formed from eruptions of ash and rock followed by quiet lava flows.
How do the composite volcano form their inner layers?
The inner layers are laid down by earlier eruptions, and are then buried under ash and lava from later eruptions.
Is a stratovolcano a shield volcano?
No. A stratovolcano is a volcano with steep slopes consiting of layers of lava flows, ash, and pumice and is prone to explosive eruptions. A shield volcano is a volcano with broad slopes composed of layers of low viscosity lava flows and is generally not prone to explosive eruptions.
What kind of volcano is komagatake?
The Komagatake volcano in Japan is classified as a stratovolcano. The definition of a stratovolcano is a volcano that is conical in shape and composed of layers of material expelled from previous eruptions.
What type of volcanoe built from layers of lava released from repeated nonexplosive eruptions?
It was a Stratovolcano (Composite Volcano).
How do you describe a composite volcano?
A composite volcano is composed of many layers of ash and cooled lava flows resulting from sequences of explosive and non-explosive eruptions. The arrangement of these layers can be quite complex.
Is it true that a composite volcano have both quiet and explosive options?
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.
Is Mount Rainier an explosive or non explosive volcano why or why not?
It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.

Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.
What exactly is a volcano?
A stratovolcano is a conical volcano with a steep profile that is composed of many layers of hardened lava, pumice, tephra, and volcanic ash. Stratovolcanoes capable of producing both effusive and explosive eruptions, some of which can be very large. They are the most dangerous type of volcano.
What are lava layers in a volcano?
lava layers is layers in side a volcano the color is ushely brown and black
How many layers make up a regular volcano?
a volcano has about 6-10 layers
