There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
Composite volcanoes typically have higher viscosity lava compared to shield volcanoes, resulting in more explosive eruptions. The high silica content in the magma of composite volcanoes contributes to this higher viscosity. However, the exact viscosity of the lava can vary depending on specific factors such as temperature and gas content.
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
Multiple eruptions form composite volcanoes. Andesite magma is the most common type of magma that erupts from composite volcanoes. Composite volcanoes can grow so high that their slopes become unstable and collapse.
Mount St. Helens and Mount Vesuvius are two examples of composite volcanoes.

yes

Ash and Gas make composite volcanoes erupt i believe
Yes. Composite volcanoes often produce violent eruptions.
Cinder volcanoes, composite volcanoes, frision volcanoes, and cinder cone volcanoes.
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
composite volcanoes
Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
No. Composite volcanoes erupt mostly ash and pumice.
What would you expect to find composite volcanoes on Mars? Explain why.
