What kind of eruption form composite cone 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.

Is mount fuji a cinder cone volcano shield volcano or a composite volcano?

How is strength of a volcano eruption related to the magma in the volcano?
If the magma is more viscous, the eruption is stronger.
What type of volcano causes the biggest eruption?
Viscous lava ( such as in the caribbean
What type of volcano is the shiveluch volcano?
Shiveluch is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, characterized by steep slopes and explosive eruptions due to its viscous magma.
What does a volcano slope reveal about the materials that formed it?
very or highly viscous magmas formed it
Is the Karymsky volcano cinder shield or composite?
The Karymsky volcano is a stratovolcano, which is a type of composite volcano. These volcanoes are characterized by their steep slopes and explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma.
Is a dome volcano the same as a cone volcano. if not - what is a dome volcano?
a dome volcano is not the same as a cone volcano. a dome volcano is a type of volcano, is a roughly circular mound-shaped protrusion resulting from the slow extrusion of viscous lava from a volcano. Usually it extrudes very slowly, but constantly. A cone volcano has an appearance of an upside-down funnel with a hole in the top which the lava shoots out of.
Is mount nyiragongo a shield volcano?
No, Mount Nyiragongo is a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. It is characterized by its steep-sided cone shape and explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma.
Difference between viscous and non viscous lava?
Viscous lava is very sticky and thick and is more felsic (ie it contains more silica) than non-viscous lava. This type of lava makes for a very explosive volcano, because it's so sticky that it sticks to itself and can't exit the volcano until it explodes violently. Non-viscous lava is more runny and is more mafic (has more iron, less silica). Volcanoes with non-viscous lava are less explosive because the lava just runs out slowly and no pressure builds. The Hawaiian islands are formed from volcanoes with non-viscous lava.
Is galeras volcano cinder composite or shield?
Galeras is a Strato/Composite volcano because of it's gently sloping sides.
What type of volcano occurs along a convergant plate boundary?
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is the type of volcano that occurs along a convergent plate boundary. These volcanoes are typically steep-sided and have explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma.
What is an acid lava volcano?
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
Is Mt Etna a composite or a shield volcano?
Mt. Etna is a composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano. It is characterized by its steep profile and explosive eruptions due to the presence of viscous magma rich in silica.
