VOLCANOES

CINDER CONE VOLCANOES

• cinder cone volcanoes are also known as the scoria cone.
• Cinder cone volcanoes are made of loose rocks, ash,and debri, that was thrown out durring the erruption.
• Cinder Cones volcanoes are the most common volcanoes.
• Cinder Cone volcanoes can grow quickly but they don't become giants.
• Cinder cone volcanoes are made up of many cinders .

SHIELD VOLCANOES

• They could be very large because how short and wide they are.
• They are formed by runny lava.
• A shield volcano resembles the apperance of a Hawaiian warriors shield.
• Many of the largest volcanoes on Earth are Shield volcanoes.
• They all come in slightly different varriations than the other
• Shield volcanoes have several lava flows which eventually gives them a shape of a warriors shield .
• A shield volcano is a volcano filled with flowing magma .

COMOSITE VOLCANOES

• Also known as "strato volcanoes" because made of alternating layers.
• Comostite volcanoes can grow to be very large.
• Most Composite volcanoes form in subduction zones where one tectonic plate goes under another plate.
• A Composite volcano is formed over hundreds of thousands of years through multiple eruptions .
• They are made up of many layers of hardened lava tephra pumice and ash
• Composite volcanoes have very steep slopes forming a symmetrical shape.

• Each time they erupt it makes the volcone bigger

LAVA DOME VOLCANOES

• Created when small masses of thick lava that can't flow far so it piles up.
• Lava domes form from viscous hot thick lava.
• Most lava domes form at plate boundaries .
• A Lava Dome is a mass that will form when lava piles up on top of a volcanoes vent.
• Lava Domes can form anywhere where there is volcanic activity.
• They accur on the side of a larger volcano
• A lava dome is a mound that will form when lava piles up over a volcanoes vent instead of moving away .
