Is a composite volcano the same as a compound volcano?

Answer 1

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!

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Yes. A stratovolcano is a composite cone. This is not to be confused with a cinder cone.

Answer 6
