Coned-shaped mountains that spew out lava or gas?
they are called volcanoes
What are the three types of volcanos?
A shield volcano, cinder cone volcano, and the composite volcano. Shield volcanoes are on of the three types of volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have quiet eruptions and the lava is basaltic. Its slope is shallow compared to a composite volcano and a cinder-cone volcano. They are produced by hotspots and mid-ocean ridge. Cinder-cone volcanoes are the second of the three types of volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes. Cinder-cone volcanoes have explosive eruptions that release lava high in the air. They are created by tephra, volcanic ash. Its slope ranges between 30 degrees and 40 degrees. The lava is andesitic. Composite volcanoes are the third type of volcanoes. Their eruptions vary from loud and explosive to quiet. Composite volcanoes cab rise as high as 8000 feet and are steep. An example of composite volcanoes is Mount Fuji. Composite volcanoes spew felsic lava and they are built up by layers of harden lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash.
Does Mount St Helens spew pahoehoe pillow Aa or Blocky lava?
Mount St Helens produces blocky lava.
How do volcanic features on Venus and mars compared to volcanic features on earth?
Like Earth, Venus has volcanic mountains and other features that are probably made of thin, runny lava, on Venus the volcanos sometimes spew out sulfur into the atmosphere, although there is no proof Venus is volcanically active, scientists believe it most likely is. On Mars there are large shields of volcanoes similar to those on Venus and Earth,as well as cone-shaped volcanoes and lava flows, some of these volcaoes are significantly bigger than Earth's volcanoes, such as Olympus Mons, which is 3 times the size of Mount Everest, but none of these are volcanically active.
Where do hotspot volcanoes form?
Volcano hotspots form when there is a buildup of pressure within the volcano. This pressure pushes molten lava up causing the earth to crack. These cracks then spew out the molten lava.

Does it spew lava or ash or flow?
A volcano will spew lava.
Does San Andreas Fault spew lava?
no

Can a rocks exist in a state other than a solid?
Volcanoes spew lava. Lava is molten rock. Molten rock is liquid.
Do some volcanoes spew cold stuff?
yes they can occur on icy moons of the outer solar systems, and spew ice and ilquid gases instead of lava.
What are the most devastating volcanoes?
ones that spew lava straight up and those that make a lot of ash
