Volcano made of alternating layers of lava and tephra is what?
composite volcanoes
What type of volcano is made of layers of tephra and lava?
A stratovolcano is made of layers of tephra and lava. Stratovolcanoes are steep-sided and composed of alternating layers of volcanic ash, tephra, hardened lava flows, and other volcanic materials.
What is a good description of a composite volcano?
A composite volcano, also called a strato volcano, is built up from alternate layers of ash and lava. It has steep sides because when it erupts it lava is thick and viscous (andesitic) meaning that it does not travel great distances and stays on the side of the volcano. An example is Mount Vesuvius (which destroyed Pompeii).
What is mount st helens made out of?
alternating layers of lava and tephra
Composite volcano?
A volcano whose cone is made up of alternate layers of ash and lava.
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 !!
Steep-sloped volcanos with alternating layers of cinders and basalt flows are called what?
These volcanoes are called stratovolcanoes or composite volcanoes. They are characterized by their steep slopes and alternating layers of cinders, ash, and lava flows, typically made of basaltic and andesitic compositions.
Layers of lava emitted by the volcano?
The different layers of a volcano are made from the lava and ash produced by the volcano. Some volcanoes have different thicknesses of layers or only one type of layer depending on the kind of eruption and how much ash it produces.
Is mount Etna a composite or a cinder cone volcano?
Mount Etna is a composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano. These types of volcanoes are made up of layers of ash, lava, and volcanic rocks. They are characterized by explosive eruptions and a conical shape due to alternating flows of lava and pyroclastic materials.
Is a wide gently sloping mountain made of hardened layers of low silica lava a cinder cone volcano?
Shield volcano
