They are classified according to their size, shape, style of eruption and the materials that compose them.
* Shield volcanoes: large, gently sloping volcanoes composed of layers of basaltic lava flows. They produce mostly effusive eruptions. Examples include Kilauea, Mauna Loa, and Erta Ale * Stratovolcanoes (also called composite volcanoes or composite cones): Large volcanoes with steel slopes composed of ash and lava flows. These volcanoes often produce explosive eruptions, though lava flows can occur too. These volcanoes can erupt a variety of material. Examples include Mount St. Helens, Mount Pinatubo, and Mount Vesuvius. * Cinder cones: Smaller, steep sloped volcanoes composed of chunks of rock called cinders. They have mildly explosive eruptions that produce fountains of lava. Cinder cones can sometimes be found on top of or on the flanks of stratovolcanoes and shield volcanoes. Examples include Paricutin, Sunset Crater
* Lava domes: These are domes of very viscous rhyolitic lava that build up. Most lava domes are part of a stratovolcano rather than volcanoes in and of themselves. Novarupta is an example of a lava dome. * Calderas: These are massive volcanic craters that form during cataclysmic explosive eruptions when a volcano collapses into the empty space left behind by erupted magma. Most calderas form from stratovolcanoes, and in many cases can be classified as both. Examples of stratovolcanoes that have become calderas include Mount Tambora, Mount Mazama, and Krakatoa. There are four calderas in Yellowstone National Park that likely never involved a stratovolcano as the Yellowstone volcano covers too large of an area to build a mountain.
They are classified according to their size,shape,and the materials that compose them.
What else can I help you with?
How are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history are currently inactive classified?
dormant volcanoes
How will you classify the volcanoes with no records of eruption?
They would be classified as extinct. Volcanoes with recorded eruptions - but nothing 'recent' would be classed as dormant.
How will you classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?
They would be classified as extinct. Volcanoes with recorded eruptions - but nothing 'recent' would be classed as dormant.
How are volcanoes classified according to activity?
Volcanoes are either active dormant or extinct. 1. Active- it shows eruptions within 50 years 2. Dormant- it enters a long period of rest and erupts violently. The longer it rests, the more violent the eruption may be. 3. Extinct- it doesn't show records of eruptions within the past thousand years. It is hard to tell if a volcano is dormant or completely extinct.
How are volcanoes that have no erupted in recorded history classified?
Volcanoes that have not erupted in recorded history are classified as "dormant" or "extinct." Dormant volcanoes are those that have the potential to erupt again in the future, while extinct volcanoes are unlikely to erupt again. The classification often depends on geological assessments, including the volcano's history, structure, and activity levels. Additionally, some volcanoes may be labeled as "active" if they have shown signs of unrest in the past, even if they haven't erupted recently.
How are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history are currently inactive classified?
dormant volcanoes
How are volcanoes that have erupted in recent history but are currently inactive classified?
Volcanoes that have erupted in recent history but are currently inactive are classified as dormant volcanoes. This means that although they are not currently erupting, there is still potential for future volcanic activity.
How are volcanoes that have not erupted in recorded history classified?
Volcanoes that have not erupted in recorded history are classified as dormant. This means they are currently inactive but have the potential to erupt again in the future.
How will you volcanoes with no record of erupt?
They would be classified as extinct. Volcanoes with recorded eruptions - but nothing 'recent' would be classed as dormant.
What type of volcanoes is Erebus?
Mount Erebus is classified as a polygenetic stratovolcano
How will classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?

How will you classify the volcanoes with no records of eruption?
They would be classified as extinct. Volcanoes with recorded eruptions - but nothing 'recent' would be classed as dormant.
How will you classify volcanoes with no record of eruption?

Why do some volcanoes stay dormat?
When volcanos stay dormant they are classified as extinct
How are volcanoes classified according to activity?
Volcanoes are either active dormant or extinct. 1. Active- it shows eruptions within 50 years 2. Dormant- it enters a long period of rest and erupts violently. The longer it rests, the more violent the eruption may be. 3. Extinct- it doesn't show records of eruptions within the past thousand years. It is hard to tell if a volcano is dormant or completely extinct.
How can volcanoes be classifiied?
they're classified by the type of goose that ejects its bodily fluids on the molten lava.
Classification of Volcano according to activity?
There are ten types of volcanoes. The types of volcano are as follows: fissure vents, shield volcanoes, lava domes, crypto-domes, volcanic cones, stratovolcanoes, super-volcanoes, submarine volcanoes, subglacial volcanoes, and mud volcanoes.
