They both are made of hardened lava, either created it completely, or was made in layers.the composite volcano was made in alternating layers of hardened lava and cinder layers. But a shield volcano is completely made of hardened lava.
Hope this helps:D
There isn't really anything they have in common except for the fact that they both have lava!
There is no difference. Stratovolcano is just another way of saying composite. Composite volcanoes are very explosive and the most dangorous (also very big). Example: Mount vesuvius and Mount St. Helens
No. A composite volcano or stratovolcano is a tall, steep-sided volcano composed of irregular layers of ash, pumice, and lava flows. A compound or complex volcano is a volcano with multiple features. These features may include calderas, composite cones, cinder cones, and lava domes.
No. A composite volcano is a class of volcano. Subduction refers to the environment in which the volcano occurs. While most composite volcanoes occur at subduction zones, some occur at hot spots and rift zones.
Yes. A stratovolcano is a composite cone. This is not to be confused with a cinder cone.
yes Strato volcanoes are composite
YES
a shield volcano
The arenal volcano is a cindercone volcano not a composite.
it is a composite volcano.
the mount hood volcano is strato (composite) volcano
Stratovolcano (a composite volcano)
A stratovolcano is sometimes called a composite volcano, yes.
It is both. A stratovolcano is the same thing as a composite volcano.
There isn't. Stratovolcano and composite volcano refer to the same kind of volcano.
not much, the volcano type that does he worst damage is the composite/strato volcano. The composite and strato volcano are the same types just different names.
No. It is a composite volcano.
It is both. A composite volcano and a stratovolcano are the same thing.
It is both. A stratovolcano and a composite volcano are the same thing.
a shield volcano
Mount Unzen is a Composite or Strato Volcano (same thing but Strato is a nickname for composite)! Sometimes it is calles a Complex Strato Volcano
The arenal volcano is a cindercone volcano not a composite.
it is a composite volcano.
the mount hood volcano is strato (composite) volcano
