The inner layers are laid down by earlier eruptions, and are then buried under ash and lava from later eruptions.

A mountain that forms when layers of lava and ash erupt and build up is a what?
what is mountain formed from layers of lava and ash
Is Mount Pinatubo a shield volcano a composite volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
Taal volcano is also a high land form but has a mouth or an opening called a crater
What causes a secondary peak to form from a volcano?
Lava building up from layers and layers in the Earth
How Does a Shield Volcano Form?
layers of lava pile on top of each other, making many layers of it.
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
What is one type of plate boundary where volcanoes might form?
There are divergent boundries which causes Shield Volcanoes(an ocean volcano) and there a subducting boundries which causes a composite volcano(land volcano) there is also a cinder cone but that is made from a magma chamber(a place where magma is stored beneath the volcano and in the earths crust) explodes from being overfilled and layers upon layers form.
A mountain that forms when layers of lava and ash erupt and build up is a what?
what is mountain formed from layers of lava and ash
Could a composite volcano form in a desert?
Yes. Climate does not affect what kind of volcano can develop.
Is Mount Pinatubo a shield volcano a composite volcano or a cinder cone volcano?
Taal volcano is also a high land form but has a mouth or an opening called a crater
What is the layers of rock around a volcano called?
The layers of rock form a dome called a laccolith
What causes a secondary peak to form from a volcano?
Lava building up from layers and layers in the Earth
How Does a Shield Volcano Form?
layers of lava pile on top of each other, making many layers of it.
Is you true Shield volcano form from many thin layers of lava?
No
A composite volcano is most likely to form where?
Composite volcanoes most often form near subduction zones.
Can a composite volcano form in a pond?
Not really. While there is nothing that would prevent a composite volcano from developing under an area where a pond happens to be, there is no pond big enough to contain a composite volcano. As soon as the volcano starts forming, the first significant eruption would probably fill in or blast away the pond.
What is layer of lava and ash?
When molten rock (lava) flows from a volcano, it covers the surrounding area in a layer of solidified rock. During the eruption, ash can also be thrown up high into the sky by the volcano, and blown by the wind, could settle in a thick, smothering layer. The city of Pompeii suffered from being smothered by volcanic ash.
What kind of eruption form composite cone volcano?
Composite volcanoes are highly variable in what they erupt. Most often, eruptions will release clouds of ash, pumice, and rock fragments. In some cases they fountain or extrude lava.
