What is doormant as in a volcano type?
Doormant means when the volcano can erupt again but at the moment it seems very still, as if it is sleeping.
How is a volcanic neck formed?
A volcanic neck forms when magma solidifies in the vent of a volcano, after the solidification the volcano goes either dormant for an extended period of time or goes extinct. During this period of quiescence the ash around the vent erodes away as well as all the other light material leaving only the spine that was the plug in the vent. This will last the longest as it is very densely solidified magma versus a loose conglomerate of ash on the flanks of the volcano.
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
How many vents do composite volcanoes have?
A composite volcano has one volcanic vent. The vent on this type of volcano is located at the top of the mountain (volcano).
A very broad volcano with gentle slopes?
If you're doing the volcano crossword it's a shield volcano. :]
What type of eruption does the redoubt volcano produce?
very violent

Which type of stone will most likely show the greatest amount of weathering?
i think its granite Above answer is wrong! Granite is VERY hard and weathers slowly. SANDSTONE is very soft and permeable and weathers (erodes) very quickly.
What type quick bread are crepes?
They are a type of very thin French pancake rather than bread.
Which type of volcano forms a large cone-shaped mountain from alternating layers of lava flow and volcanic ash?
A volcano that forms very large lava flows and builds itself up that way is known as a shield volcano. This type of volcano may not always erupt from a central summit vent but can have satellite vents (Rift Zones) that will form long channels of lava flows going down the slopes. These volcanoes are often times known as erupting in a very placid style and although can have explosive eruptions are very very rare. A volcano of this type would be either KIlauea or Mauna Loa on the big island of hawaii.

Magma is launched from a volcano eruption It cools very rapidly on contact with air What type of rock could it form?
Any type of Igneous rock.
What kind of volcano erode very quickly?
composite volcano
What type of volcano is Popocatépetl?
It is a stratovolcano, such as the Mount Rainier in Washington state or Mt. Fuji in Japan. This means its lava is very thick and slow but it has pyroclastic flows (huge clouds of incandescent ash and debris) which are very dangerous to the populations close to the volcano.
A very broad volcano with gentle slopes?
