The landform created by a composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, is characterized by a steep, conical shape formed from alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks. These volcanoes typically have a central vent and can produce explosive eruptions, leading to the accumulation of thick lava that solidifies into a rugged structure. The layering results in a more complex and varied landscape compared to shield volcanoes, which are broader and flatter. Examples include Mount St. Helens and Mount Fuji.
