Type of Volcanoes

• VOLCANOES 


  These are natural opening in the earth's surface where molten rocks, smoke, gases, and ashes are ejected
• Crater


  It is a funnel-shaped depression at the top of a volcano formed as a result of explosive eruption.
• Caldera


  It is a volcanic crater that is formed when a part of the wall of the crater collapses following an explosive eruption
• Magma


  Molten rocks inside the earth
• Lava


  Magma that has been ejected out of a volcano
• Shield Volcano


  This is formed by the accumulation of lava oozes out from the volcano. Since non- viscous lava can flow freely.a broad, slightly doomed structure that resembles a warrior's shield is formed.
• Cinder Cone Volcano


  This is built from ejected lava fragments. They have a steep slope, wide crater, and is most abundant of the three major volcanoes
• Composite Volcano


  Also known as, stratovolcano. This is large. nearly perfect sloped structure formed from the alternate solidification of both lava and pyroclastic deposits.
