What are 4 types of volcanoes?

Answer 1

Answer

Volcanoes can be active or inactive. When a volcano is active there is magma or lava moving around getting ready to make an explosion. When a volcano is inactive there is either rocks and bits of other stuff melting in the main vent making magma getting ready to become active or they are not doing anything, just sitting there like a mountain.

The four main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, composite volcanoes, also called stratovolcanoes, cinder cones, and lava domes. Composite volcanoes are the most abundant, and an example is Mount Fuji in Japan. These volcanoes are formed from layers of ash. In contrast, shield volcanoes are gently sloping volcanic mountains built almost fully of lava flows. They were named on account of their shape , which is reminiscent of an ancient warrior's shield. These volcanoes are typically much larger then composite volcanoes. Lava domes and Cinder cones are much smaller than shield or composite volcanoes.

Answer

They are, cinder cone, composite cone, shield cone, and extinct volcano.

Answer 2

Most vuncanologists would say that there are in fact 26 different types of volcano on Earth.

The most common types and their numbers are:-

# strato volcanoes = 699, # shield volcanoes = 164, # monogenetic fields of scattered volcanic vents = 92 , # rhyolite caldera complexes = 83, # Isolated cinder cones = 87, # submarine volcanoes = 105.

Answer 3

There are 3 types of volcano`s 1: Active volcano`s which have exploded in the recent past.


2: Dormant volcanoes which have exploded before but not in the recent past


3: Extinct volcanoes which will not explode again

Answer 4

1. Shield volcanoes: broad and gently sloping with basaltic lava flows.
2. Stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes): steep-sided with alternating layers of lava, ash, and rock.
3. Cinder cone volcanoes: small, steep-sided volcanoes made of pyroclastic fragments.
4. Lava dome volcanoes: formed by slow, thick lava oozing from a vent and building up a dome shape.

Answer 5

The four different types of volcanoes include lava domes and shield volcanoes. The other two types of volcanoes are cinder cones and composite volcanoes.

Answer 6

There are three (3) major types of volcanoes, and they are; Shield Volcano, Composite Volcano and Cinder Cone.

Answer 7

The two types of volcanoes that I know are: Cindercone and shield,

Answer 8

Sorry I only know 3 common types. They are active, extinct, and dormant.
