Question

A composite cone volcano
O is a volcano built of pyroclastics
piled up around the volcanic
vent.
is a volcano with gentle slopes,
broad relative to its height and
built from may flows of fluid, low-
viscosity basaltic lava.
all of these are correct.
is a volcano built of inter-layered
lava flows and pyroclastic
materials.

A shield volcano
all of these are correct.
is a volcano built of pyroclastics
piled up around the volcanic
vent.
O is a volcano built of inter-layered
lava flows and pyroclastic
materials.
is a volcano with gentle slopes,
broad relative to its height and
built from may flows of fluid, low-
viscosity basaltic lava.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Volcano is a rupture in the Earth’s crust through which lava, volcanic ash and gases escape from the interior layer of the Earth. It causes an eruption and the eruption can be explosive, ejecting particles high into the sky or the eruption may be calmer with gentle flows of particles. These erupted particles may be liquid rock- it is known as lava when it is on the surface and magma when it is underground, ashes, gases or cinders.
