volcanoes that have large amounts of silica

The most explosive volcanoes are stratovolcanoes with felsic magama that has a high gas content.

A. Shield Volcano- these usually form at hot spots and are like the ones in Hawaii. THey are nonexplosive because the lava is very runny. This would not be the most explosive. B. Cindercone-this would probably be your best bet although they erupt only once during their liftime. They are the smallest type of volcano and have steep sides. When it explodes, it shoots out pyroclastic material. C. Composite Volcano-this is also called a stratovolcano. It has both nonexplosive and explosive eruptions. THey can have many eruptions. IF the cinder cone was not what you were looking for, then this would be your second choice.

Are parasitic cone cinder cone the same?

Parasitic cone volcanos and cinder cone volcanos are not the same when classifying. Cinder cone volcanos are the most popular type of volcano, named for its cone shaped formation. Cinder cone volcano are also considered the smallest type of volcanos and can stand alone or grow on the flanks of other volcanos. The parasitic cone volcanos are similar to the cinder cones, however, the volcano is found on the flanks of other volcanos, hence, the name. It is created by flank eruptions of larger volcanos.


Volcanoes typically have the most explosive eruptions?

Large explosive eruptions are generally characteristic of stratovolcanoes.


What is the most common type of volcano found on Earth?

Volcanoes come in many types, such as scoria volcanoes (mafic, small, not very explosive),shield volcanoes (large, mafic, mild eruptions of large volumes of lava), composite volcanoes (large, traditional cone shape, most deadly), lava domes (felsic, explosive, usually found with other volcanoes), fissures ( lava erups through fractures, mafic), and canderas (steep-walled depression, very large).


Which is the deadliest type volcano in the world?

Stratovolcanoes are considered the deadliest type of volcano in the world because they are capable of producing explosive eruptions with pyroclastic flows, ash clouds, and lahars. These eruptions can cause significant destruction to surrounding areas and have resulted in some of the most devastating volcanic disasters in history.


What type of volcanic rock do you find in a explosive volcano?
