Volcanoes are formed when magma from within the Earth's mantle rises through the crust and erupts onto the surface. The magma can build up pressure over time, eventually causing an explosive eruption that releases gases, ash, and lava. The type of volcano that forms depends on factors such as the composition of the magma and the tectonic setting.
A volcano is a vent through which molten rock known as magma rises from underground to the Earth's surface. Magma erupting from a volcano is called lava and it is the material, which builds up the cone surrounding the vent.
Composite volcanoes are tall cone-shaped mountains that are typically steeply-sided, symmetrical cones of large dimensions and are sometimes calles stratovolcanoes
some volcanoes have rugged peaks formed by lava domes rather than a summit crater while others have landscape features such as massive plateaus.
A volcanic eruption is formed from magma that is in the earth.
Composite Cone Volcano- volcano that is tall and steep; formed of lava and volcanic debris
formed like a cone. Where lava flows or builds up in earths crust to make it big and strong. Thats wat i learned. :)
It is in a shape of a cone and is one of the largest types of volcanoes there is. There are loads in North America, so you will always find them there.

Why are volcanoes usually near hills?
volcanoes are usually the mountains,the plate boundaries colliding depend on where the volcanoes are formed so they are not purposely always formed by mountains.
Is there volcanoes in the Bahamas?
No, the Bahamas do not have active volcanoes. The islands were formed through geological processes like sedimentation and uplift, rather than volcanic activity.
What volcanoes are formed by explosive eruptions that are followed by lava outpourings?
composite volcanoes
Where the Hawaiian islands formed by earthquakes or volcanoes?
Hawaii was formed by centuries of volcanic magma boiling out. Hawaii and it's sister Islands are active volcanoes.
Are volcanoes where new faults are formed?
yes
How was Philippines formed?
it is said that Philippines was formed by volcanoes. it appears that the volcanoes underneath the ocean has the same core of the volcanoes found here in the Philippines
Do the Galapagos islands have any volcanoes?
Yes. There were formed by volcanoes.
How were the volcanoes invented?
Volcanoes were not invented , they are formed in deep soil .

Where are igneous rocks formed?
they are formed wherever active volcanoes are
How was sumatra formed?
Sumatra was formed by volcanoes like hawii
How was the tall volcano formed?
Same as all volcanoes were formed.
How were the Hawaiian formed?
It is thought that volcanoes formed the Hawaiian islands.
Is there volcanoes in the Bahamas?
No, the Bahamas do not have active volcanoes. The islands were formed through geological processes like sedimentation and uplift, rather than volcanic activity.
Why are volcanoes formed in groups?
Tubes
