Name three types of volcano forms?
shield volcano- volcano with whide crater developing from layers of lavacinder cone- small volcano with steep sides and explosive eruptions made of ash and rocks.composite volcano- tall volcano formed from eruptions of ash and rock followed by quiet lava flows.
Why are composite volcanoes steeply sloped?
It depends on viscosity of the lava. the runnier the lava, the farther it flows before solidifying, so it cannot pile up as fast.
What type of volcano is tall with steep sides?
composite
What are gentle sided and steep sided volcanoes?
gently sloping volcanoes are called shield volcanoes and they are formed from many eruptions of lava that is relatively low in silica, so it spreads out in many thin layers and creates the gently sloping sides of a shield volcano.
Do volcanoes form different shapes and types by explosions?
the shape and size of a volcano all depends on the pressure exerted onto the magma upon it rising upwards, for example; a composite volcano has very steep sides, so therefore alot of pressure has built up beneath the earths crust and has quickly rose up giving the earth no choice but the form the steep sides. whereas a shield volcano has gentle sloping sides meaning not alot of pressure has been gained letting the earth adapt more to the changes as the formation is more slower thus the less steep sides. hope this helps
Why are some volcanic eruptions gentle and others violent and why do scientist make a distinction?
Because it all depends on what type of volcano it is, if it is a shield volcano low and flat it's eruptions will be gentle. But if it is a cone volcano tall and steep it's eruptions will be very violent.
What type of volcano has broad bases and summits with steep sides?
Cinder cone volcanos have steep sides and broadd bases.They are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings.
A steep tall volcano that can sometimes rise as high as 10000 feet an eruption from this type of a volcano is violent?
strato volcano

Cinder cone

Is Mt. Krakatau a shield cylinder cone stratus etc...?
Krakatau is a stratovolcano. This type of volcano, also known as a composite volcano, is characterized by a tall, conical shape with very steep sides. The explosions are usually extremely violent.
Is a stratovolcano a shield volcano?
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.
What type of volcano is tall with steep sides?
composite
How does cider cone volcano and shield volcano differ?
Cinder cones are small and steep-sloped, composed of volcanic cinders, and have mildly explosive eruptions. Shield volcanoes are large and shallow-sloped with very runny lava and generally non-explosive eruptions.
What is an acid lava volcano?
Acid Lava Dome is a type of volcano that forms when viscous acid lava solidifies quickly to form a volcano with steep convex sides.
What is a small volcanic mountain wih a narrow base and steep sides?
a cinder cone volcano
