The inner layers are laid down by earlier eruptions, and are then buried under ash and lava from later eruptions.
It is an explosive volcano. Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano, characterized by layers of ash from explosive eruptions and cooled lava flows from effusive eruptions. The high viscosity and gas content of its magma are the reason for its explosive nature.
The Komagatake volcano in Japan is classified as a stratovolcano. The definition of a stratovolcano is a volcano that is conical in shape and composed of layers of material expelled from previous eruptions.
A composite volcano is composed of many layers of ash and cooled lava flows resulting from sequences of explosive and non-explosive eruptions. The arrangement of these layers can be quite complex.
A volcanic cone or a volcanic mountain can be built up from numerous violent volcanic eruptions. These eruptions can result in layers of lava, ash, and volcanic rocks accumulating over time to form a distinctive cone-shaped landform.

No. A stratovolcano is a volcano with steep slopes consiting of layers of lava flows, ash, and pumice and is prone to explosive eruptions. A shield volcano is a volcano with broad slopes composed of layers of low viscosity lava flows and is generally not prone to explosive eruptions.

It was a Stratovolcano (Composite Volcano).
Yes. The ash and cinder layers are from explosive eruptions while the lava flows are from non-explosive eruptions.

The Osorno volcano in Chile is a composite volcano. It is characterized by its tall, symmetrical shape and alternating layers of lava flows and volcanic ash. It is the result of both explosive and effusive eruptions.
It is both. A composite volcano and a stratovolcano are the same thing.
A composite volcano is called a "strato" volcano because of its alternating layers of lava flow and volcanic ash, which can resemble the stratified layers of sedimentary rock ("strato" means layers in Latin). This type of volcano is characterized by its steep-sided profile and explosive eruptions.
A composite volcano, also known as a stratovolcano, has alternate layers of lava and cinder due to its explosive eruptions that eject both materials. These volcanoes are typically tall and steep-sided.
