A composite volcano, also called a strato volcano, is built up from alternate layers of ash and lava. It has steep sides because when it erupts it lava is thick and viscous (andesitic) meaning that it does not travel great distances and stays on the side of the volcano. An example is Mount Vesuvius (which destroyed Pompeii).
