Type of Picture and Details

Volcanoes
Cinder cones are the simplest type of volcano. They are
built from particles and blobs of congealed lava ejected
from a single vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown
Cinder cones violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments
that solidify and fall as cinders around the vent to form
a circular or oval cone. Most cinder cones have a bowl-
shaped crater at the summit and rarely rise more than a
thousand feet or so above their surroundings. Cinder cones are numerous in
western North America as well as throughout other volcanic terrains of the
world.
-Has a large magma chamber, which is an underground
reservoir filled with flowing, hot rock under huge
Supervolcanoe pressures. Scientists believe that a supervolcano
explosion is big enough to affect everyone on the
s planet. A supervolcanic eruption is rare.

Some of the Earth's grandest mountains are composite

volcanoes—sometimes called stratovolcanoes. They are
Composite typically steep-sided, symmetrical cones of large
dimension built of alternating layers of lava flows,
volcanoes volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs and may rise
as much as 8,000 feet above their bases. Some of the
most conspicuous and beautiful mountains in the world
are composite volcanoes.
Are formed by relatively small, bulbous masses of lava
too viscous to flow any great distance. A dome grows
Lava Domes largely by expansion from within. As it grows its outer
surface cools and hardens, then shatters, spilling loose
fragments down its sides.

Shield Volcanoes are built almost entirely of fluid lava flows. Flow after

summit vent, or group of vents, building a broad,

of highly fluid lava flows called basalt lava that
spread widely over great distances, and then cool

Has no center crater at all. Instead has giant cracks open
in the ground and expels vast amount of lavas. Fissure
Fissure volcano A linear fracture on the Earth's surface through

Volcanoes effused.The eruptive products accumulate most thickly
along the linear fracture and build up an elongate, low-
angle shield or higher-angle cone topography, constituting the volcanic pile.
A complex volcano, also called a compound volcano, is
mixed landform consisting of related volcanic centers and
Complex their associated lava flows and pyroclastic rock. They
may form due to changes in eruptive habit or in the
volcanoes location of the principal vent area on a particular
volcano.
