Volcanic bombs are produced by explosive volcanoes, specifically by Strombolian and Vulcanian eruptions. These explosions eject viscous lava fragments that solidify before hitting the ground, forming the characteristic shape of volcanic bombs.
A cinder cone volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments. These fragments can range in size from ash to bombs and are ejected during explosive eruptions. Over time, these layers of eruptive material accumulate to form a steep-sided cone-shaped volcano.
Mauna Kea is a shield volcano, which is a type of volcano with gentle sloping sides caused by basaltic lava flows. It is known as a dormant volcano, last erupting about 4,500 years ago.
A stratovolcano is a type of volcano with steep sides composed of alternating layers of solidified lava flows, volcanic ash, and rocks. A composite volcano is another name for a stratovolcano, both refer to the same type of volcano.
No, a volcano is not a type of geothermal energy. Geothermal energy refers to heat stored beneath the Earth's surface that can be harnessed for power generation, while a volcano is a natural phenomenon where magma, gas, and ash are expelled from the Earth's crust. Volcanoes can be a potential source of geothermal energy, but they are not the same thing.
A shield volcano forms where plates pull apart. This type of volcano has gentle sloping sides and is characterized by its low viscosity lava flows. Examples of shield volcanoes include those in Hawaii.

The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption
It is above a subduction zone
The rocks ejected from a volcano that are grapefruit-sized are typically called volcanic bombs. They are formed when molten lava is ejected into the air and solidifies before hitting the ground. Volcanic bombs can vary in size and shape depending on the type of eruption and the properties of the lava.
An eruption of ash, cinders, bombs, and gases from a volcano is called a pyroclastic eruption. This type of eruption can be highly explosive and dangerous, sending a mixture of hot gases, ash, rock fragments, and other materials down the volcano's slopes at high speeds.
The various types of material ejected by a volcano are called volcanic products, which can include ash, lava flows, pyroclastic flows, volcanic gases, and volcanic bombs. These materials vary in size, composition, and behavior depending on the type of volcano and the eruption style.
they were atomic bombs.

A Sub Glacial Volcano
Mauna Loa type of volcano
When a volcano erupts, the earth is opened up to produce lava, which is magma that has reached the surface. Sometimes, there are materials, or fragments, that are ejected from the volcano by the force of the volcano erupting. These blobs of lava are called Pyroclastic material.
It is a cone volcano.
