What are three kinds of volcanoes? What makes them different?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Composite, shield, cinder cones, and supervolcanoes are the main types of volcanoes.

Composite volcanoes are tall, steep cones that produce explosive eruptions.

Shield volcanoes form very large, gently sloped mounds from effusive eruptions.

Volcanoes have several shapes, which are controlled by the composition of the magma and the nature of its eruption. If a volcano produces very fluid lava (low in the compound SiO2, or silica), the magma flows a long distance before it cools, making a flat, shield-shaped volcano.

Aptitude (or fitness) is the genotype/phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate. It is a way of measuring the individual ability to leave fertile offspring.

Aptitude puts together everything that matters in natural selection. Includes the survival capability, finding a mate partner possibility, producing fertile descendants, and leaving the genes to the next generation.
