Types of Volcano Research Composite Volcanoes: Composite volcanoes‚ also called strato volcanoes‚ are formed by alternating layers of lava and rock fragments. This is the reason they are called composite. Strato-volcanoes often form impressive‚ snow-capped peaks which are often exceeding 2500m in height‚ 1000sq.km in surface‚ and 400km3 in volume. Between eruptions they are often so quiet they seem extinct. To witness the start of a great eruption requires luck or very careful

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. Volcanoes look like mountains‚ but they are really flat land that is pushed upward because of the pressure below the earth. The pressure comes from hot magma and gases that build up below the earth’s surface and that work up to the surface through cracks in the earth’s plates. As it is forced up to the surface‚ the gases and magma push

Volcanoes--sinister and dangerous creations that wreak havoc and death‚ demanding fear and reverence from all. But yet‚ people show none. They have busy lives and don’t have time for "silly" things such as destructive volcanic eruptions. On top of that‚ they have all seen the movies in which people have effortlessly escaped the wrath of magma flow of "the rather gentle and atypical volcanoes in Hawaii." These people willingly‚ and sometimes unknowingly‚ make themselves easy prey for volcanic eruptions

Shield volcanoes Main article: Shield volcano Shield volcanoes‚ so named for their broad‚ shield-like profiles‚ are formed by the eruption of low-viscosity lava that can flow a great distance from a vent‚ but not generally explode catastrophically. Since low-viscosity magma is typically low in silica‚ shield volcanoes are more common in oceanic than continental settings. The Hawaiian volcanic chain is a series of shield cones‚ and they are common in Iceland‚ as well. Lava domes Main article:
