 Cinder Cone
Volcano

 Shield Volcano

 Strato Volcano
(composite volcano)
 Doesn’t have any horizontal, and is instead a steep
conical hill of tephra (volcanic debris) that
accumulates around and downward from the vent.
 Most likely result from a single violent eruption.
 A cone volcano is formed by magma forcing its way
through the Earth’s surface (the crust) and, once
erupted, the lava builds up near the vent.
 “Cinder” refers to the chunks of lava that, solidifying
instantly upon being ejected, compose that rubble.
 you might see cinder cones called “pyroclastic cones.”
“Pyroclastic” – aka “fire-broken rock” – refers to rocks
derived from lava erupted as molten shreds. When
pyroclastic material flies out of a volcano into the air,
it’s called “tephra,”
LOCAL: International:
 Taal Volcano  Nicaragua's cerro negro
(Talisay,Batangas, Ph.)
 A type of volcano built entirely or most from fluid lava
vents.
 They are named like this because when viewed from
above, you can see just how massive and imposing the
are – like a warrior’s shield.
•Shield volcanoes are almost
exclusively basalt, a type
of lava that is very fluid when
erupted.
•Are the largest volcanoes on
Earth that actually look like
volcanoes.
Local: International:
 A conical volcano consisting of layers of solid lava
flows mixed with layers of other rocks.
 Stratovolcanoes are sometimes called "composite
volcanoes" because of their composite stratified
structure built up from sequential outpourings of
erupted materials.
Local: International:
 Mayon Volcano  Krakatau
Into the scorching worlds
 Active Volcano

 Dormant Volcano

 Extinct Volcano (dead volcano)

 Can be best described as one that’s currently in a state
of regular eruptions.
 Maybe it’s going off right now, or had an event in the
last few decades, or geologists expect it to erupt again
very soon.

 Used to refer for those that are capable of erupting,
and will probably erupting again in the future, but
hasn’t had an eruption for a very long time.
 Volcanoes become dormant because the Earth’s plates
are constantly shifting above volcanic hotspots.
 Dormant volcanoes do still erupt from time to time,
however, sometimes with devastating results for
people who thought the volcano was completely
extinct.

 Volcanoes go dormant because magma from the
Earth's mantle can no longer reach the volcano. For
example, in Hawaii, the line of islands are slowly
moving to the northwest. Meanwhile, the supply of
magma stays in the same place within the Earth, which
currently happens to lie beneath the Big Island.
 This can also happen when the angle of subduction
changes and magma begins to rise through the mantle
in a different location.
 Extinct volcanoes are those which
scientists consider unlikely to erupt
again. A volcano which has not
erupted in the past 10,000 years
is extinct.
 Simply put, they’re cut off from their supply
of lava. This is where a chamber of magma
underneath the surface of the Earth finds its
way to the surface through weaknesses in
the crust.

high Cascades near Mount volcanoes of Camiguin Island in
Bailey Southern Philippines.
