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.
What are the Layers of volcanic eruption?
In a cinder cone volcano, layers of ejected lava are combined with "pyroclastic" layers, formed of "tephra" : hot gas and rock that flow from the cone. The classic volcanic cones are composed of several parts : * Cone - the mound of ash and cinder * Crater * - the main opening, usually at the peak or summit * Vents - openings from the cone * Conduits - the lava channels connected to the vents * Magma chamber - the underground source of the liquid rock for the volcano *A "caldera" is a collapsed area, usually formed when a magma chamber empties. This is distinct from the term crater.
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 Steep sided volcano made of tephra?
cinder cone volcano
What are the three types of volcanos?
A shield volcano, cinder cone volcano, and the composite volcano. Shield volcanoes are on of the three types of volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions and the lava is basaltic. Its slope is shallow compared to a composite volcano and a cinder-cone volcano. They are produced by hotspots and mid-ocean ridge. Cinder-cone volcanoes are the second of the three types of volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes have explosive eruptions that release lava high in the air. They are created by tephra, volcanic ash. Its slope ranges between 30 degrees and 40 degrees. The lava is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are the third type of volcanoes. Their eruptions vary from loud and explosive to quiet. Composite volcanoes cab rise as high as 8000 feet and are steep. An example of composite volcanoes is Mount Fuji. Composite volcanoes spew felsic lava and they are built up by layers of harden lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.

Is Igneous rock made up of lava magma and heat?
No. First of all, heat is not a substance. Something cannot be made of heat. Igneous rock forms from lava, magma, or tephra that has colled. Magma is molten rock in the earth's interior. Lava is molten rock that has been erupted onto the surface by a volcano. Tephra is material that has been ejected into the air by a volcano.
Composite volcano?
A volcano whose cone is made up of alternate layers of ash and lava.
