Four Main Types of Volcanoes (Homework)

Geologists group volcanoes into four main types:
  1. cinder cones
  2. composite volcanoes (stratovolcanoes)
  3. shield volcanoes
  4. lava domes
We have reviewed one type of volcano in class. Follow this link (CLICK HERE!) to complete notes for the composite volcanoes and shield volcanoes (I will cover lava domes in class). Organize your notes like the ones you took in class using the following format:

  1. Name of the Volcano type
  2. Describe the shape using a labeled diagram.
  3. Describe the formation and composition using bullet notes.
  4. Give an example of this type volcano.
