Small basaltic cones built during one short eruptive episode?
cinder cones
What type of volcano forms when layers of basaltic lava accumulate during a nonexplosive eruption?
Cinder Cone
What is a relatively small summit depression on a volcano marking a former eruptive vent?
A relatively small summit depression on a volcano marking a former eruptive vent is called a volcanic crater. It is typically shaped like a bowl or a funnel and is formed during explosive volcanic activity when the magma is ejected from the volcano. Craters can vary in size and can often contain a lake, known as a crater lake, or be filled with volcanic debris.
Is kilauea a composite volcano?
No. Kilauea is a shield volcano.Kilauea is a traditiional shield style volcano erupting very flowable basaltic magma. The volcano is one of the most studied and documented of any on the planet due to the ease of studying it during an eruption. The volcano erupts normally in a very placid style of spectacular lava flows across its surface. Altough Kilauea has posed a serious risk of property in the past it is often times able to outrun a lava flow from this volcano on foot at simply a brief walk. Hawaii Volcanoes Observatory is in charge of monitoring the volcano and has daily updates on the current eruptive conditions and changes within the volcano. A composite volcano on the other hand is of the style of Mt. St. Helens and erupts more often than not in a very explosive fashion.

How do rhyolitic magma or lava and basaltic lava differ?
rhyolitic mama is associated with explosive volcanism and is ejected (blown out of) a volcano rapidly. Basaltic lavas are released during effusive volcanism that is not explosive, such as hawaii where the lave "flows" into the ocean slowly. Basaltic lavas have a lower silica content as well.

What are usually the most abundant gases during basaltic volcanism?
water and carbon dioxide
What builds during a dormant volcano?
a volcano
What type of lava does Mt Etna have?
Granitic with a high water content, resulting in powerful steam explosions during eruptions.
Does the eruption of a volcano during and eclipse related to an eclipse?
No, the eruption of a volcano during an eclipse is just a coincidence!
What eruptive style has a composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes typically erupt with explosive force: the magma is too stiff to allow easy escape of volcanic gases. As a consequence, tremendous internal pressures mount as the trapped gases expand during ascent, before the pent-up pressure is suddenly released in a violent eruption.
Which type of volcano has not erupted at all during historical times?
Extinct volcano's
What forces pushes magma out of a volcano into the surface during a volcano?
it is side vents
