Where does pyroclastic flow occur?
Pyroclastic flows occur during explosive eruptions of volcanoes.
Are cinder cone volcanoes similar or different from Shield and stratovolcanoes?
There are similarities and differences. Cinder cones are generally much smaller than shield volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. Like shield volcanoes, they primarily erupt basaltic lava. However, like stratovolcanoes they have steep slopes and are composed of material that has erupted into the air and been welded together.
Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?
Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.
What is also known as stratovolcanoes?
The type of volcano is a composite volcano.
What are some other stratovolcanoes and their locations around the world?
some of the stratovolcanoes and thier locations are the same that are composite because composite and starto is the same

What is the history of stratovolcanoes?
They are ugly

What volcanoes are made of basaltic lava?
Stratovolcanoes, also called composite volcanoes are generally not made of basalt. While they may occasionally produce basalt, much of their material is andesite or dacite.
Were does photosynthesis generally occur?
in the chloroplasts
What types of volcanos are on the Aleutian Islands?
Sprimarily stratovolcanoes.
What is the size of a composite volcano?
Composite volcanoes are also called stratovolcanoes. They may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases and are generally much taller and wider than regular volcanoes.
Is mt st helens non-explosive or explosive?
Mount St. Helens is generally regarded as an explosive volcano, but like most stratovolcanoes, it can produce both explosive and non-explosive eruptions.
Do taller volcanoes cause a more powerful eruptions?
Not necessarily. The most powerful eruptions generally come from stratovolcanoes. These can be very tall, but do not have to be. The second most powerful eruption of the Twentieth Century was the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo. This volcano is not nearly as tall as other stratovolcanoes. The most powerful eruptions come from supervolcanoes that often fail to build into any sort of mountain.
