Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Composite volcanoes are most often found near subduction zones.
composite cone
Lava high in silica (granitic lava) tends to be thick and viscous, so the volcano is likely to be composite rather than shield.
A shield volcano.
Mount St. Helens is an active stratovolcano. Composite Cone volcano - APEX

This is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano.
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
A caldera is a large depression in a volcano. Most calderas form in one of two ways: by collapse of the top of a composite volcano after the magma chamber is drained.

The type of volcano appears most in the news are composite and cinder cone
A composite volcano is formed over time from thousands of lava eruptions that form layer after layer of new crust. These composite volcanoes are the most prevalent type of volcano.
Composite or Strato Volcanoes.
Mount Mayon, the Phillipines, is a stratovolcano, or a composite volcano. The lava erupted has a high silica content and high viscosity, and is mainly andesitic. Mount Mayon is categorised as active, and is viewed as a 'perfect volcano' due to the symmetry of sides.
