What else can I help you with?
If composite volcanoes often form along convergent boundaries which plate should be surrounded by the most composite volcanoes?
The plate that should be surrounded by the most composite volcanoes would be the Pacific Plate, as it is predominantly a convergent boundary with other plates (such as the Eurasian, Philippine, and North American plates), leading to the formation of many volcanic arcs and composite volcanoes around the Pacific Ring of Fire.
How many composite volcanoes are there?
you people think there are about 1000 volcanoes .
What are 3 kind of volcanoes?
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.

Why don't we have volcanoes in North America?
volcanoes usually form at the edges of tectonic plates, which is one of the reasons that there are many in the Ring Of Fire. North America is not really located at the edge of many plates so there are not that many volcanoes.
How many volcanoes in the ring of fire?
452
Compere shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are lower in elevation and usually not exposive, such as Kilauea, which has been constantly 'erupting' since the 80s. Composite volcanoes (aka stratovolcano) are large, usually somewhat cone shaped and appear dormant/extinct until an explosive eruption. Examples are Krakatoa (awesome example), Vesuvius, Pinatubo, Rainier, St Helens and many more. Shield volcanoes typically occur on mid-oceanic 'hot spots' while composites/stratovolcanoes occur on tectonic plate boundaries. The "ring of fire" around the pacific plate has many strato/composite volcanoes and Hawaii's Kilauea is in the center on a 'hot spot' *Skylla*
How many volcanos surround the ring of fire?
There are about 452 volcanoes in The Ring of Fire.
Do composite cone volcanoes have mafic lava?
They can. Composite volcanoes vary in what they erupt. Many composite volcanoes are composed of a mixture of mafic, felsic, and intermediate rock. However, in most cases intermediated or felsic rock predominates.
What are some interesting facts about composite volcanoes?
composite means ''made of separate layers'' and a composite volcano is made of many layers of lava and ash. they are one of the most dangerous volcanoes , because they explode when they erupt. although, they are extremely quiet between eruptions. that's all i got, but i hope it helps!
Are the volcanoes in the ring of fire stratovolcanoes?
Many of them are, but not all. The Ring of Fire also includes some shield and cinder cone volcanoes. There are also several complex volcanoes that do not fit neatly into the three main categories.
Are composite volcanoes snow capped?
Many of the taller composite volcanoes and those located in cooler climates are snow-capped. However, others are not so tall and located in tropical regions and so do not have snow caps. On example is Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines.
