Lava domes can be found at a number of locations, and can emerge fairly quickly. They are most often found at subduction zones and can be found on stratovolcanoes. Volcanoes that have produced lava domes include Novarupta in Alaska, Mount St Helens in Washington, Chaitén in Chile, and Paluweh in Indonesia.

ReneOn the surface of the planet Mars, some lava domes seem to occur in the western part of Arcadia Planitia and also within Terra Sirenum.
On the surface of planet Earth, there are lava domes within the crater of Mount St. Helens in the state of Washington in the pacific Northwestern region of North America. Mount St. Helens is part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, which includes Lassen Peak, Mount Meager, and the Wizard Island cinder cone in Crater Lake, Oregon. The arc extends from southwestern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California.

Why did the Lassen peak volcano erupt?
Mt. Lassen is a lava dome type of volcano. The domes of lava dome volcanoes grows from within, and commonly occur within the craters or on the flanks of large composite volcanoes.
What are the broad dome shaped volcanoes called?
shield volcanoes.
What are signs that an volcano is going to occur?
increased seismic activity in the area, swelling of the magma dome (in andesite volcanoes), increase in surface temperature.
Are there any kind of volcanos?
There are three different types of volcanoes. The types of volcanoes are shield volcanoes, dome volcanoes, and also composite volcanoes.
What are the broad slightly dome-shaped volcanoes called?
The broad, slightly dome-shaped volcanoes are called shield volcanoes. These volcanoes are characterized by their low profile, gentle slopes, and large size. They are formed by the accumulation of basaltic lava flows.

Are there volcanoes in Waikiki Oahu?
The Punchbowl. Home of the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
How tall can dome volcanoes get?
Dome volcanoes can vary in height, but typically they are shorter and more broad compared to other types of volcanoes. They can range from meters to hundreds of meters tall, depending on the amount of erupted lava and the duration of the eruption.
