Question

Describe one of the three types of volcanoes we discussed today

Answer 1

Answer: Shield, Cinder Cone, and Composite volcano.

Explanation: A shield volcano is a volcano that is formed with lava is very runny and spreads to a wide area and then cools to form a shield volcano. These are common at Hawaii.

A cinder cone volcano is the smallest volcano. It's made from minor eruptions and cinders. They're short and usually erupt for a short period of time. Mexico's Parícutin volcano, is a cinder cone.

Composite or stratovolcanoes are the most common type of volcano. They form from thick, less runny lava. Since it is so thick, it cools then makes the volcano taller. Mount st helens, in Washington state is a stratovolcano.
