A Volcano With Rugged Steep Sides

Is it rugged steep valleys or gentle fairly flat.

A volcano with rugged steep sides.

A volcanic cone is the hill shaped landform that forms around a volcano. St helens and kilauea so different. Figure 8 23 shows the mauna loa volcano. Also called a stratovolcano.

Sometimes domes are produced by repeated outpourings of short flows from a summit vent and occasionally extremely viscous lava is pushed up from the vent like a short protrusion of toothpaste from. Shield volcanoes get their name from their shape a huge shield laid on its side. They have a very wide base and are much flatter on the top than composite volcano. Composite volcano a volcano with a broad base steep sides and often a crater at the top.

Most geologists classify a mountain as a landform that rises at least 1 000 feet 300. How would you describe the topography around the crater of this volcano. How is the temperature of the lava related to the slope of the sides of a volcano. The volcano is composed of alternating layers of ash and lava flows.

Tuff cones have steep sides and often stand between 100 and 300 meters 328 to 984 feet high. How does the type of lava influence the slope. Supervolcano a massive volcanic eruption that is rare but incredibly powerful. Having an irregular or jagged surface.

They usually have steep sloping sides and sharp or rounded ridges and a high point called a peak or summit. Strata layers of rock that are similar in composition to one another. Why are the slopes of mt.
