Where are composite volcanoes usually found-?
in the north pole during the winter months.
What 2 types of volcanoes are there?
There are three. From smallest to largest, they are: Cinder Cones, Composite Volcanoes (also called Strata Volcanoes), and then Shield Volcanoes.
What is the consistency of lava in the composite volcanoes?
Composite volcanoes are found on destructive plate margins , where the oceanic crust sinks beneath the continental crust. Composite volcanoes have the following characteristics: Acidic lava, which is very viscous (sticky). Steep sides as the lava doesn't flow very far before it solidifies
What type of magma is found on composite volcano?
The average composition of magma in a composite volcano is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are highly variable though. They can erupt anything from basalt to rhyolite.
What are three types of volcanoes?
Three types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, stratovolcanoes (composite volcanoes), and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have gentle slopes and are formed by low-viscosity lava, while stratovolcanoes are characterized by alternating layers of lava and ash. Cinder cone volcanoes are small, steep-sided volcanoes formed by pyroclastic material ejected during eruptions.
How Compare shield volcanoes and composite volcanoes?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins

What are 3 kind of volcanoes?
There are 3 kinds of volcanoes which are found around the world. They are shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite volcanoes. Many of the most beautiful mountains in the world are composite volcanoes.
What kind of volcanoes are found on io?
answer: composite volcano's
Compare and contrast composite and shield volcanos?
Shield Volcanoes - Wide base found at constructive plate margins Composite Volcanoes - Steeper Sides found at Destructive (subduction) margins
Where are composite volcanoes found?
Composite volcanoes are most commonly found where andesitic magmas are present. Occuring in chains, composite volcanoes are most notably found in the "Ring of Fire," located in the Pacific rim. Other instances of composite volcanoes include Mount Rainier (Washington State), Mount Vesuvius (Italy), Mount St. Helens (Washington State), Mount Hood (Oregon), and Mount Shasta (California).there are some in mid-Atlantic ridg
