The Pompeii volcano is not a shield volcano or a cinder cone; it is classified as a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions due to the combination of lava flows and ash. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii in 79 AD buried the Roman city under layers of ash and pumice.
Paricutin is a cinder cone volcano.
Kilaeua is a shield volcano.
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano, which is a composite volcano formed by both lava flows and explosive eruptions. It is not a cinder cone or shield volcano.
A cinder cone volcano....found in my 8th grade science book page 136(:
Composite volcanoes are bigger than cinder cone volcanoes, but not shield volcanoes. With the possible exception of the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest volcanoe on earth is Mauna Loa, a shild volcano that makes up most of the island of Hawaii. The largest known volcano anywhere is Olympus Mons, a shield volcano on Mars.
