What are the three main volcano shapes What are the elements that all the different volcano types have in common Describe each of these elements. (site 2)?
The three main volcano shapes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. All volcano types share common elements: a magma chamber, which is a reservoir of molten rock beneath the surface; a vent, which is the opening through which volcanic material is expelled; and a crater, which is a depression at the summit formed by explosive eruptions or the collapse of the volcano. These elements work together to determine the volcano's eruption style and shape.
What are three basic shapes of volcanoes?
Three basic shapes of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, which have broad and gentle slopes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), which have steep sides and are typically made of multiple layers of hardened lava, ash, and volcanic rocks, and cinder cone volcanoes, which are small and steep-sided with a crater at the summit formed from ejected volcanic fragments.
What type of volcano forms when layers of basaltic lava accumulate during a nonexplosive eruption?
A shield volcano forms when layers of basaltic lava accumulate during a nonexplosive eruption. These volcanoes have gentle sloping sides and are usually characterized by their broad and flat shapes. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is a well-known example of a shield volcano.
Why do different volcanoes have different shapes?
Volcanos have different shapes mainly because of the viscosity of magma rising from a central vent. (A.K.A resistance to flow) It can vary from hot syrup which is thin and watery to thick and pasty just like toothpaste. Some other factors that change the shape of a volcano is the material that the volcano is made of.
Is Taal Volcano a shield volcano?
No. It is a complex volcano, with multiple features resulting from varying types of eruption.
How does a volcano help you?
It shapes the earth.
How does a volcano shape earth?
A volcano shapes the earth because when a volcano erupts, the lava hardens, forming new land on the earth's surface
What are the classifications of volcano according to cone shapes?
Cinder Cones, and Spatter Cones +Ang ganda ko :)
What stage of volcano eruption?
im going to need more than "what stage of volcano eruption." what do u mean, like how do they erupt? what is the land version of magma called? what are the volcano's shapes, example: cone,shield,composite,cindercones, and finnaly lava domes.
What are 5 things in common with the volcano and the glacier?
both forces shapes the surface of the earth. they are awalys changing and moving.they both are mountains
Why are the rocks on the giants causeway hexagonal?
They are not actually all hexagonal. They formed that way from the result of a volcano and cracks forming to bring the various shapes that they are.
Why aren't all rocks the same?
Rocks are not the same because, they come from either a Volcano, or they are broken from the Earth's ground. So this causes it to be different shapes and sizes.

What is a stratiform volcanio?
A stratiform volcano is a type of volcano that is characterized by layers of lava flow that have gradually built up over time. These volcanoes tend to have broad, flat shapes with gentle slopes. They are typically associated with non-explosive eruptions that result in the slow extrusion of lava.
Why do volcanoes shaped differently?
Volcanos have different shapes mainly because of the viscosity of magma rising from a central vent. (A.K.A resistance to flow) It can vary from hot syrup which is thin and watery to thick and pasty just like toothpaste. Some other factors that change the shape of a volcano is the material that the volcano is made of.
