What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
Do shield or composite or cinder cone or caldera volcanoes have alternate layers of ash and lava?
Composite VolcanoesComposite Volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are tall, cone shaped mountains in which alternate layers of lava alternate with layers of ash. This happens when smooth lava flows alternate with explosive eruptions of lava fragments.
What are the three types of volcanos?
A shield volcano, cinder cone volcano, and the composite volcano. Shield volcanoes are on of the three types of volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions and the lava is basaltic. Its slope is shallow compared to a composite volcano and a cinder-cone volcano. They are produced by hotspots and mid-ocean ridge. Cinder-cone volcanoes are the second of the three types of volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes have explosive eruptions that release lava high in the air. They are created by tephra, volcanic ash. Its slope ranges between 30 degrees and 40 degrees. The lava is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are the third type of volcanoes. Their eruptions vary from loud and explosive to quiet. Composite volcanoes cab rise as high as 8000 feet and are steep. An example of composite volcanoes is Mount Fuji. Composite volcanoes spew felsic lava and they are built up by layers of harden lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
What type of lava do cinder cones have?
Basaltic. There is more gas content than in most basaltic magma so that when a cinder cone erupts, The pressure builds up and makes the eruption somewhat explosive. Tephra, or dried lava/magma, is shot up, and joined to the volcano making it larger.
A mountain that forms when layers of lava and ash erupt and build up is a .?
a volcano

What is a cone-shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava?
A cone shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava is called a volcano.However, that description does not quite fit any of the three accepted descriptions of the world's volcanoes.A dome shaped mountain built from layers of lavais called a 'shield volcano'.A cone shaped mountain built from layers of cinders (tephra) is called a 'cinder cone' or a 'cinder cone volcano'.A cone shaped mountain built from alternating layers of lava and cinders is called a 'composite volcano'.
Is a wide gently sloping mountain made of hardened layers of low silica lava a cinder cone volcano?
Shield volcano
Do shield or composite or cinder cone or caldera volcanoes have alternate layers of ash and lava?
Composite VolcanoesComposite Volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are tall, cone shaped mountains in which alternate layers of lava alternate with layers of ash. This happens when smooth lava flows alternate with explosive eruptions of lava fragments.
What is cone-shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava?
A volcano can be a cone-shaped mountain that is built from layers of lava.
What build up a volcanic mountain?
Cinder, cooled lava, and ash
What type of the volcano has alternate layers of ash and lava?
Composite

Composite volcano?
A volcano whose cone is made up of alternate layers of ash and lava.
What is the lava of cinder cone volcanoes?
A cinder cone has basaltic lava, which has a fairly low viscosity.
A mountain that forms when layers of lava and ash erupt and builds up is called a?
A mountain formed by the build up of lava and ash is a composite volcanic cone.
