Volcanoes can be deadly due to their ability to release fast-moving pyroclastic flows, hot lava flows, ash clouds, and toxic gases that can cause burns, suffocation, and asphyxiation. In addition, volcanic eruptions can trigger secondary hazards like mudslides, tsunamis, and lahars, which can further increase the danger to people living nearby.

What kind of volcano is a composite volcano?
A composite volcano is steep, as thick, viscious lava spurts out. Because as the thick lava is dense, it travels very slowly down and cools down farly quickly. Because of this, the composite volcano is steep sided. It also emits a lot of ash and is less deadly than a shield volcano.
