What are dome shaped volcanoes?

Answer 1

its a volcanoe with a dome shape top it has bad eruptions.
Dome volcanos are compsite volcanos which have a lava dome in them. The lava dome is created when moulten lava is pushed up from below at slow rates and when it hits the air it cools making a crust. These domes can continue to grow and become quite large.

Answer 2

It depends on the type of volcano.

if it's a stratovolcano (a mountain), it'll be tall and steep-sided.

Many of the largest mountains in the western US are extinct or dormant volcanoes. Some stratovolcanoes, such as Paricutin in Mexico, are cinder cones built mainly of ash.

In Iceland, ice caps and glaciers cover several volcanoes, which now erupt lava along the sides.

If it's a shield volcano, it can be tall but also very wide, with several distinct calderas (craters) and fissures around the base. Shield volcanoes are built of lava flows.

Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa are volcanoes on the (big) island of Hawaii. Mauna Kea is technically in a "post shield" state, and has been dormant. Relatively small eruptions created cinder cones within the crater. Mauna Loa last had copious lava flows in 1984. Neither has had Plinian (explosive) eruptions like many stratovolcanoes.

Answer 3

A dome is a structural element of architecture that resembles the hollow upper half of a sphere.

To make the structure of a dome, make a sphere out of modeling clay, and cut it in half. The top part is the dome.

There are many different types of domes with different appearances in different cultures, like for example:

* Onion dome (Russia, turkey, india, Middle East)

* Saucer dome (india, pakhistan, iran, Afghanistan) Hope it helps!

Answer 4

A dome volcano is a round shaped mountain made of viscous lava. The lava has a high silica content that prevents the lava from flowing very far from its vent. Most domes are formed by dacite and rhyolite lavas.

Answer 5

Dome volcanoes have a dome shaped top. like in movies when there is a volcano scene and the people look down into the volcano, that part is the dome part.

Answer 6

A Dome volcano is a thick, slow-moving lava that forms a steep-sided dome shape.

Answer 7
