First we learned about the three types of volcanoes.They are Cinder Cone, Shield Volcano, and Composite Volcano.
1. Cinder Cone- most common
small
step sided
made of: rocks, ashes, and debri
single opening
2. Shield Volcano-
low profile(short)
shallow sides
can be large
usually less dangerous
lava oozes out, does not forcefully erupt
3. Composite Volcano- (stratovolcano)
made from alternating layers that are build up from multiple eruptions.
very large
very dangerous
Mount. Fuji
And those are the three types of volcanoes we learned.
