What is the characteristics of the 3 types of volcanoes?
The difference between the three volcanoes, shield, cinder cone, and composite, are shield volcanoes are built almost entirely of fuluid lava flow, cinder cone volcanoes are the most common volcanoes in Iceland, they created the island of Surtsey. Finally, composite vocanoes are formed by alternating layers of lava and fragments.
What is the shape of a cindercone volcano?
Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone.
What is an ash-cinder volcano?
ash and cinder volcanoes have steep sides but arent very tall.when they erupt,small solid fragments of rock and ash come oyt of the volcanoe composite cone volcanoes are the most commmon. they are very tall,and they erupt with runny lava followed by explosive thick lava.

What is a cinder cone volcaono?
A cinder cone is formed when a very gassy magma erupts, it is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments (volcanic clinkers, cinders, volcanic ash) called scoria.The explosive eruptions or lava fountains occur from single, typically cylindrical, vents and as the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is beautifully symmetrical; with slopes between 30-40° with a bowl shaped depression at the top.

What geometric figure is a volcano?
Most volcanoes look roughly like pyramids, but with rounded sides and their tops blown off.

When the tops are blown off waves it is called "spindrift".

What is the difference between cinder cones and spatter cones?
A spatter cone is formed of molten lava ejected from a vent of a volcano. Expanding gases in the lava fountains tear the liquid rock into irregular gobs that fall back to earth, forming a heap around the vent. The partly liquid rock splashes down and over the sides of the developing mound is called spatter. Because spatter is not fully solid when it lands, the individual deposits are irregular in shape and weld together as they cool, and in this way differ from cinder and ash. A cinder cone is a volcanic cone built almost entirely of loose volcanic fragments called cinders. They are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit.
