Composite volcanoes are highly variable in how and what they erupt. In some cases composite volcanoes produce extremely viscous blocky lava flows of andesite or rhyolite. In other cases they may produce pahoehoe or a'a flows of basaltic lava. In many cases eruptions are explosive, producing clouds of ash and pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows.
What else can I help you with?
Which type of volcano conists of layers of lava flow and pyroclastic material?
A composite cone is the type of volcano that consists of layers of lava flows and pyroclastic material. A stratovolcano is an example of a composite cone.
Is a composite volcano thick or runny?
A composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, typically has a thick and viscous lava flow due to its high silica content. This type of volcano tends to erupt explosively, producing a mixture of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks.
Is Mt Erebus an active volcano?
It is a lava flow, and has an AA (ah-ah) lava flow
What type of lava comes out of tinakula?
Tinakula typically erupts basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity and can flow more easily compared to other types of lava. This type of lava often results in gentle to moderately explosive eruptions.
Is Fuego volcano a shield volcano a compostie volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
The Arenal Volcano is a cinder cone volcano
What volcano has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava?
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
What type of eruption does composite volcano have?
The type of eruption that a composite volcano has is lava flow with cinders and bombs in an explosive eruption
Which type of volcano conists of layers of lava flow and pyroclastic material?
A composite cone is the type of volcano that consists of layers of lava flows and pyroclastic material. A stratovolcano is an example of a composite cone.
Is a composite volcano thick or runny?
A composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, typically has a thick and viscous lava flow due to its high silica content. This type of volcano tends to erupt explosively, producing a mixture of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks.
Does a composite volcano have a mixture of both heavy and light rocks?
A composite volcano is called composite because it has alternating layers of lava and ash, formed by quiet lava flow after explosive eruptions. But yeah, it's definitely made up of both heavy and light rocks !!
Is Mt Erebus an active volcano?
It is a lava flow, and has an AA (ah-ah) lava flow
What kind of eruption form composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
Is composite volcano made of entirely running lava?
Shield Volcanoes are made out of running lava. Not composite.
What type of volcano is made from alternating layers of lava and ash?
The composite volcano.
What type of volcano is made from alternating layers of rock and lava?
The Composite volcano.
What type of lava comes out of tinakula?
Tinakula typically erupts basaltic lava, which is low in viscosity and can flow more easily compared to other types of lava. This type of lava often results in gentle to moderately explosive eruptions.
