The three main types of volcanoes are shield, stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes, like Mauna Loa, have gentle slopes and erupt primarily through the effusion of low-viscosity basalt lava, resulting in broad, expansive landforms. Stratovolcanoes, such as Mount St. Helens, exhibit steep profiles and erupt explosively due to more viscous magma, often resulting in pyroclastic flows and ash clouds. Cinder cone volcanoes are the smallest and erupt explosively, spewing out ash and small lava fragments that accumulate around the vent to form a steep, conical hill.

Is not one of the three main types of volcanoes?
The three main types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (or composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. If you're looking for a type that is not one of these, examples include fissure volcanoes and lava domes, which have different characteristics and formation processes. Each type varies in shape, eruption style, and the materials they primarily erupt.
What climates do volcanoes need to be in to erupt?
Volcanoes can erupt in any climate. Climate does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt.
Where does volcanoes mostly erupt in?
they mostly erupt in Hawaii
How do cinder cone volcanos erupt?
Cinder cone volcanoes erupt explosively, but not as violently as composite volcanoes.
What type of volcano doesn't erupt?
A volcano that doesn't erupt is typically classified as a "dormant" or "extinct" volcano. Dormant volcanoes have the potential to erupt in the future but have not done so for a significant period of time, while extinct volcanoes are not expected to erupt again. Examples include the Eiffel Tower in France and the ancient volcanoes found in the Hawaiian Islands that have not shown any activity for thousands of years.
What type of volcano does and does not erupt?
Active volcanoes erupt. Dormant volcanoes are quiet - but may erupt again some day. Extinct volcanoes have "closed up shop" for good, and will never erupt again.

Do tsunamis erupt?
No. Volcanoes erupt.
Do all volcanos erupt?
no all the volcanoes do not erupt.there are three types of volcanoes extinct,average and active. no because there are dome mountains that do not erupt and they are full of lava and they will erupt in more or less than 300 years.
How many volcanoes erupt yearly?
About 60 volcanoes erupt each year.
How many volcanoes can erupt at once?
An unlimited amount of volcanoes can erupt at once
Do volcanoes erupt at the end of the year?
Volcanoes can erupt at any time of year.
What climates do volcanoes need to be in to erupt?
Volcanoes can erupt in any climate. Climate does not affect a volcano's ability to erupt.
Are volcanoes considered volcanoes when they erupt?
Yes, they are.
What makes composite volcanoes to erupt?
Ash and Gas make composite volcanoes erupt i believe
Where does volcanoes mostly erupt in?
they mostly erupt in Hawaii
What volcanoes erupt gently?
Shield volcanoes erupt least violently cinder cone most violently and compost can erupt either way.
