12 Types of Volcanoes Cinder Cone Shield Composite

13 Cinder Cone Volcanoes Mainly explosive eruptions Produced from ash, cinders and bombs (pyroclastic flows) Steep, cone-shaped hill or small mountain Erodes easily

14

15 Shield Volcanoes Lava flows from quiet eruptions Wide, gentle sloping mountain

16

17 Composite Volcanoes Lava flows alternate with explosive eruptions of ash, cinders and bombs (pyroclastic flows) Tall cone shaped mountains
