Has
viscous lava
= sticky = explosive eruption at the ring of fire aka Pacific ocean

wide
+
short
at
constructive
+ lava = faster flow + not viscous at
mid Atlantic ridge
Earthquakes
= at
constructive
+
destructive
=
ground shaking
+
building collapses
= makes volcano worse = adds layer of vulnerability
Lava
+
lava bombs
Destroys landscape + when hardened = hard to remove
If
viscous
= blocks main
vent
goes to 2nd vent =
explosive
= can be forced into air = lave bombs
