What is the characteristics of the 3 types of volcanoes?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

1. Shield volcanoes are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows.
2. Cinder cone volcanoes are built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into
3. Composite volcanoes arebuilt of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise as much as 8,000 feet above their bases.

I wish it was helpfull.

Answer 3

1. Shield volcanoes have gentle sloping sides and are formed by low-viscosity lava flows, resulting in broad, flat landforms.
2. Stratovolcanoes are characterized by steep-sided cones and explosive eruptions due to the build-up of gas pressure from viscous lava.
3. Cinder cone volcanoes are small and steep-sided, formed from the accumulation of pyroclastic material ejected during explosive eruptions.
