    Cause and Effect of Volcanoes Any natural opening in the Earth’s crust‚ called a fissure‚ where melted rock‚ ash‚ gases‚ and steam come out is called a volcano.

    A stratovolcano is also known as a composite volcano. It is built up by many layers called strato‚ lava‚ tephra‚ pumice and volcanic ash that has become hardened. Stratovolcanoes have a steep profile and they have many explosive eruptions that cause craters that have collapsed called calderas. The lava flow from a stratovolcano normally cools before it has the chance to spread. This is due to the viscosity of the lava being extremely high. One of the most famous stratovolcanoes is Mount Vesuvius
