1. Volcanoes

2. Types of volcanoes 1. Shield Volcano Rounded, gentle slopes and large bases Lava is usually fluid and flows easily Ex. Hawiian Islands, Kilauea, Manua Loa

5. 2. Cinder Cone Volcano Steepest sloped volcano Lava is thick with gas trapped inside Eruptions are usually violent Ex. Sunset Crater, Arizona

8. 3. Composite Volcano (stratovolcano) Produced when there is a series of alternating eruptions Consists of layers of ash, and cinders alternating with lava Usually formed on continental plates Ex. Mt. St Helens, Mt Fuji, Japan
