What eruptive style has a composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes typically erupt with explosive force: the magma is too stiff to allow easy escape of volcanic gases. As a consequence, tremendous internal pressures mount as the trapped gases expand during ascent, before the pent-up pressure is suddenly released in a violent eruption.
