Question 4 1 / 1 pts Cinder cones are relatively short (a few hundred meters) and steep. Shield volcanoes are usually very tall (thousands of meters) and have much flatter slopes. How do composite (sometimes called strato) volcanoes differ? Correct! All of the other answers are true, and thus this is the best answer. They are comprised of a composite of many different types of materials, including lava flows, mudflows, volcanic ash, and glowing avalanches the harden into welded tuff. They are very tall (thousands of meters) and also very steep. They are typically found above subduction zones, whereas cinder cones and shield volcanoes can occur in many other types of locations.
