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.
Paricutin is a cinder cone volcano.
Mount Parícutin is a cinder cone volcano, not a composite shield volcano. It formed through a single eruption in 1943 and is made up mainly of pyroclastic material such as ash, cinders, and lava flows, typical of cinder cone volcanoes.
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano formed by both lava flows and explosive eruptions. It is not a cinder cone or shield volcano.
I just has a project on this the answer is composite! :D
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii. The largest known volcano anywhere is Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars.
