What substance alternates with lava in a composite volcano such as a nearly symmetrical Fujiyama?
The substance that alternates with lava in a composite volcano is pyroclastic material. This material includes various types of fragmented volcanic rock, such as ash, cinders, and volcanic bombs. It is ejected during explosive eruptions and can be deposited around the volcano, building up layers over time.
What are the Layers of volcanic eruption?
In a cinder cone volcano, layers of ejected lava are combined with "pyroclastic" layers, formed of "tephra" : hot gas and rock that flow from the cone. The classic volcanic cones are composed of several parts : * Cone - the mound of ash and cinder * Crater * - the main opening, usually at the peak or summit * Vents - openings from the cone * Conduits - the lava channels connected to the vents * Magma chamber - the underground source of the liquid rock for the volcano *A "caldera" is a collapsed area, usually formed when a magma chamber empties. This is distinct from the term crater.
What kind of volcano is komagatake?
The Komagatake volcano in Japan is classified as a stratovolcano. The definition of a stratovolcano is a volcano that is conical in shape and composed of layers of material expelled from previous eruptions.

What builds volcanic mountains?
Volcanic mountains form as layers of lava flows and/or pyroclastic material pile up from successive eruptions.

A steep-sided volcano formed entirely of ash and cinders is a?
A Stratovolcano is a steep volcano made mostly of layers of ash, lava and cinders. Stratovolcanoes have a tendency to be very explosive and produce significant quantities of ash.
How many layers make up a regular volcano?
a volcano has about 6-10 layers
