Volcanoes Shield Volcanoes Stratovolcanoes Cinder Cones
2
Shield Volcanoes (e.g. Mauna Loa) Huge structures, in both volume and height Built of very fluid basaltic lavas --> gently sloping sides
3
Hawaiian lava flows Pahoehoe flows - smooth, ropy surface Aa flows - rough, jagged surface
4
Stratovolcanoes (e.g. Mt. Shasta) Large volcanoes, particularly in height Built of more viscous lava flows and pyroclastic debris --> steeper slopes
