What are the three types of volcanos?

Answer 1

A shield volcano, cinder cone volcano, and the composite volcano.

Shield volcanoes are on of the three types of volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions and the lava is basaltic. Its slope is shallow compared to a composite volcano and a cinder-cone volcano. They are produced by hotspots and mid-ocean ridge.

Cinder-cone volcanoes are the second of the three types of volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes have explosive eruptions that release lava high in the air. They are created by tephra, volcanic ash. Its slope ranges between 30 degrees and 40 degrees. The lava is andesitic.

Composite volcanoes are the third type of volcanoes. Their eruptions vary from loud and explosive to quiet. Composite volcanoes cab rise as high as 8000 feet and are steep. An example of composite volcanoes is Mount Fuji. Composite volcanoes spew felsic lava and they are built up by layers of harden lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.

Answer 2

Cinder Cone Volcano-Steep, cone shaped mountain made of volcanic ash, cinders, bombs, piled up around a volcano's conduit opening.

Shield Volcano-Wide, gentle slopping mountain made of layers of lava; formed by quite eruptions.

Composite Volcano-Tall, cone shaped mountain in which layers of lava alternate which layers of ash and volcanic material.

Answer 3

The three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle sloping sides and are typically formed by lava flows. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by explosive eruptions that eject cinders and volcanic ash.
