Lava from composite volcanoes, or stratovolcanoes, is typically more viscous due to its higher silica content compared to basaltic lava from shield volcanoes. This increased viscosity means that the lava flows more slowly and doesn't travel far, allowing it to cool and solidify more quickly upon exposure to the atmosphere. Additionally, the steep slopes of composite volcanoes promote rapid cooling as the lava encounters cooler air and surface temperatures.

Layers of thin runny lava that flow over a wide area before they cool and harden can build up what?
Layers of thin runny lava that flow over a wide area before they cool and harden can build up lava plateaus or volcanic fields.
How do composite volcanoes form?
Composite volcanoes form from alternating layers of lava flows, ash, and volcanic rocks that build up over time. This type of volcano is created by a combination of explosive eruptions and lava flows, which allow for the formation of the steep symmetrical shape commonly associated with composite volcanoes.
What are vollcanos?
Volcanos are creators that explode with lava
How are cinder cone volcanos same as shield volcanos?
Both cinder cone and shield volcanoes are primarily composed of basaltic lava flows. However, cinder cone volcanoes are characterized by steep slopes, smaller size, and built up from pyroclastic material like ash and cinders, while shield volcanoes are much larger with gentle slopes built from numerous lava flows.
What are volcanos made of?
ash,lava and magma,and molten rock.

Does the lava harden?
Actually, it does not. It is soft.
How was mount Fuji formed and how?
from the ashes and lava of volcanos.
What are vulcanologists?
Vulcanologists are scientists that study volcanos and anything relating to volcanos (including magma, lava, etc...).
What are volcanos made of?
ash,lava and magma,and molten rock.
How is hawaiian lava different from composite cone lava?
Compared with the lava in composite volcanoes, hawaiian lava has a slow silica content, is runny, and erupts at a higher temperature.
