What are the three types of volacanoes?
The three types of volcanoes are shield, cinder cone, and stratovolcano. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by the eruption of low-viscosity lava flows. Cinder cone volcanoes are steep-sided and are formed by the accumulation of loose pyroclastic material around a vent. Stratovolcanoes have a conical shape and are composed of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and debris.
A volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides built almost entirely out of basalt lava flows is called a cinder cone.?
Actually, a volcanic mountain with gently sloping sides made of basalt lava flows is typically called a shield volcano, not a cinder cone. Cinder cones are typically smaller, steeper-sided volcanoes formed from ejected rock fragments.
What are the 3 types of volcans?
Plinian, Strombolian and Hawaiian..:P
What do cinder cone volcanoes erupt?
When a Cinder Cone volcano erupts it shoots out ash, and that's how they form also, ash builds up on there sides and grow taller and taller every time a cinder cone erupts. Hope this helps!
What is a cone-shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava?
A cone shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava is called a volcano.However, that description does not quite fit any of the three accepted descriptions of the world's volcanoes.A dome shaped mountain built from layers of lavais called a 'shield volcano'.A cone shaped mountain built from layers of cinders (tephra) is called a 'cinder cone' or a 'cinder cone volcano'.A cone shaped mountain built from alternating layers of lava and cinders is called a 'composite volcano'.
Is hot gases the only thing that come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes erupt fountains of lava, which is how the cinder cone is built up. Cinder cones that are nearing the end of activity may also produce lava flows.
Are hot gases the only material that can come out of a cinder volcano?
No. Cinder cone volcanoes also fountain lava into the air and may produce lava flows as activity is coming to an end.
Do cinder cones produce lava flows?
Yes. Although its typical eruptions produce simple lava flows, there have been cases where water came in contact with magma, triggering explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows.
Why does a cinder cone volcanoes have such steep sides?
when lava flows down it the lava that stayed on it gets hard
What type of lava does a cinder cone volcano have?
A cinder cone volcano typically has basaltic lava, which is low in silica content and flows easily. This results in the formation of steep-sided cones made of mostly cinders and volcanic ash.
What statement is not true about cinder cones?
They do not produce lava flows.
What materials do cinder cone volcanoes produce?
Cinder cones produce ash and chunks of lava rock called scoria.
Do cinder cone volcanoes have AA lava or pahoehoe lava?
Pahoehoe and a'a refer to different texutres of lava flows. Although cindercones can produce lava flows, their main mode of eruption is called "fire fountaining" which tends to produce chunks of lava called scoria, rather than pahoehoe or a'a.
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
Both cinder cone and shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava flows. However, cinder cone volcanoes are characterized by steep slopes, smaller size, and built up from pyroclastic material like ash and cinders, while shield volcanoes are much larger with gentle slopes built from numerous lava flows.
What is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?
A cinder cone has basaltic lava, which has a fairly low viscosity.
How does lava flow from Cinder Cone volcanos?
Lava flows from Cinder Cone volcanoes when pressure from the magma chamber beneath the volcano causes the magma to be forced up to the surface. The lava then flows out of the vent and down the sides of the volcano, often forming steep, narrow streams due to the high viscosity of the lava.
What are the 4 types of volcanoes which exist and what type of lava do they produce?
shield, cinder cone, composite, and dome. They produce basaltic lava, rhyolite lava and andesite lava.
