What type of volcano results from alternating explosives and nonexplosives eruptions?

A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, results from alternating explosive and nonexplosive eruptions.

Stratovolcanoes are known for their explosive eruptions due to the build up of pressure from the alternating eruptions.
