What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?
Usually composite volcanoes. subduction zone volcanos usually form steep sided composite cones composed primarily of andesite
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are Cinder Cone Volcanoes, Shield Volcanoes and Composite Volcanoes.
Is Shield volcanoes found along subduction zones?
Cone volcanoes which are likely to erupt explosively are found at subduction zones. Spreading zones (constructive plate boundaries) and hot spots produce quieter volcanoes because their lava is thinner. The ones at hot spots are shield volcanoes.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
What kind of volcanoes form along subduction zones?

What are 3 kind of volcanoes?
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
What kind of volcanoes are found on io?
answer: composite volcano's
What kind of mafic lava do composite volcanoes have?
Composite volcanoes usually do not erupt mafic material. Intermediate material is the most common. The mafic material they do erupt is usually basalt.
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Where are composite volcanoes found?
Composite volcanoes are most commonly found where andesitic magmas are present. Occuring in chains, composite volcanoes are most notably found in the "Ring of Fire," located in the Pacific rim. Other instances of composite volcanoes include Mount Rainier (Washington State), Mount Vesuvius (Italy), Mount St. Helens (Washington State), Mount Hood (Oregon), and Mount Shasta (California).there are some in mid-Atlantic ridg
Are composite volcanoes usually high in elevation?
medium to high, so yes
