How often do composite volcanoes erupt?
Composite volcanoes, also known as stratovolcanoes, can erupt sporadically, with some remaining dormant for hundreds to thousands of years between eruptions. The frequency of eruptions can vary greatly depending on the individual volcano and its location. Some composite volcanoes may erupt multiple times within a century, while others may have longer intervals between eruptions.
