What type of volcanos are there?

Answer 1

There are five types of volcanoes:

• Composite- One of the main three types of volcanoes, composite volcanoes are made up of layer upon layer of hardend lava and rock fragments. These types of volcanoes have dangerous and unexpected eruptions, which are explosive due to the clogging of the thick, silica rich magma in the magma pipe. The lava then hardens to form another layer with the rocks and pebbles settling on top.
• Shield- Shield volcanoes tend to be very wide around and not very steep. This is due to the runny silica low lava that the volcano emits. They often form under water and when erupted form islands like those in Hawaii.
• Cinder cones- Cinder cones are usually lower to the ground than most other volcanoes. The main factor that gets the blame is that Cinder cones usually erupt only pebbles, gases, and sometimes heavier rocks that settle on the volcanoe in a cone and create an unstable lauer of rock and ash that easily slides down to the bottom of the volcano. Cinder cones are fairly steep.
• Splatter cones- Volcanoes that hold enough explosive gas to shoot clotts of lava- or "splatters" into the air. They then fall and settle together on the volcanoes top to form steep accumulations.
• Complex volcanoes- A volcano consisting of two or more vents.

Answer 2

there are coned shaped ones ones with long narrow sides and fat chubby ones the most common volcanoes are coned shaped ones there are about 500 active volcanoes left.


1. shield volcanoes spill out only lava and are really flat

2. cinder cone volcanoes spill out ash, cinder, and are really tall

3. composite volcanoes spill out ash, cinder, lava, and aren't too tall and aren't too
flat
