Periodically though, composite volcanoes erupt in an explosive way. Its viscous magma, when it rises to the surface, clogs the crater pipe. As a result, the gas in the crater pipe is locked up, which gives rise to an explosive eruption. This type of volcanoes is mainly found to be based along the sub duction zones. Mount Hood, Mount Rainier, Mount Shasta, Mount Fugi, Mount Mayon and Vesuvius are counted amongst the popular composite volcanoes.
