Diagram above showing a cross section through earths lithosphere indicated by yellow
with magma rising from the mantle indicated by red. The plate tectonic will moves but the
hotspot stand stills formed a new shield of volcano.
2. Explain the differences and similarities in the internal structures of these types of volcanoes .
Differences
Shield Volcanoes
StratoVolcano
eruption materials
Andesitic to rhyolitic
slopes (tilt)
magma type
eruption type
explosive-destructive
3. You are asked to study a new volcano. What criteria would you use to assess the danger it poses
to local communities?
The first step is identifying the kind of volcanoes. The parameters that should be noted
is the shapes of the volcano is it stratovolcanoes or shield. After that, we identifying the
materials and mapping the safe zone. If the volcano have a crater, than we should identify the
