Understanding Volcanoes: Types, Formation, and Eruptions

Explore the fascinating world of volcanoes, including shield and composite types. Deep within the Earth, the mantle lies beneath the molten iron core and the thin crust. Shield volcanoes feature broad, gentle slopes formed by quiet lava eruptions, creating low islands. In contrast, composite volcanoes have towering, cone-shaped structures built from alternating layers of cinders and lava flows. Learn about their formation, eruption patterns, and geological significance. For more detailed information, visit the provided resources.

  2. Eruptions • Deep inside earth; between the earth molting iron core and the thin crust at the surface, there is a solid body of rock called mantle.

  3. Shield Volcano's • Formed when lava spreads out around a vent in a quiet eruption. • A low island is formed. • Shield volcanoes are volcanoes with broad, gentle slopes and built.

  4. Composite Volcano’s • Is formed when cinders makes up some layers and lava lows makes up other layers. • Composite volcanoes are towering cone-shaped mountains,
