Types of Volcano
Composite Volcano Shield Volcano
Shield Volcano
• Occur at Constructive Plate Boundaries.
• Runny Lava that flows along way from the main vent.
• Gives the volcano gentle sides.
• Shield volcanoes almost never erupt violently due to the lava running free (no rocks).
Composite Volcanoes.
• Occur at destructive plate boundaries.
• Viscous (thick lava)
• The lava cannot flow far from the vent.
• Makes the volcano steep sided.
• Violent eruptions due to rapidly hardening rock which blocks vents and allows the pressure to build.
