Examples of stratovolcanoes include Mount St. Helens in the United States, Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Vesuvius in Italy, and Mount Rainier in the United States. These volcanoes are characterized by a steep profile, alternating layers of lava and ash, and explosive eruptions.
Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, typically consist of alternating layers of solidified lava flows, volcanic ash, and cinders. They also feature a central vent or crater at the summit where eruptions occur. Additionally, stratovolcanoes often have a steep profile due to the viscous magma that tends to solidify quickly.
Yes, although technically, strato-volcanoes *are* cinder cones (composite cones), built up of layers of ash. But the term "cinder cones" (ash cones) is usually applied to smaller cones that form within the vicinity of large volcanic calderas, such as Crater Lake in Oregon. They may be associated with either strato-volcanoes or shield volcanoes.

Shield volcano: Examples include Mauna Loa in Hawaii and Pico in the Azores. Stratovolcano: Examples include Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount St. Helens in the United States. Cinder cone volcano: Examples include Paricutin in Mexico and Sunset Crater in the United States. Lava dome volcano: Examples include Mount St. Helens in the United States and Soufriere Hills in Montserrat.
A composite volcano is called a "strato" volcano because of its alternating layers of lava flow and volcanic ash, which can resemble the stratified layers of sedimentary rock ("strato" means layers in Latin). This type of volcano is characterized by its steep-sided profile and explosive eruptions.
Is a strato volcano active?
Composite or Strato Volcanoes.
Strato and Cinder-cone volcanos but cinder cones can have non explosive too but not strato
by pressure of molten lava of the dence viscocity.
