A mountain or hill, generally steep-sided, formed by accumulation of magma (molten rock with associated gas and crystals) erupted through openings or volcanic vents in the Earth's crust; the term volcano also refers to the vent itself. During the evolution of a long-lived volcano, a permanent shift in the locus of principal vent activity can produce a satellitic volcanic accumulation as large as or larger than the parent volcano, in effect forming a new volcano on the flanks of the old.

What is a good universal statement about volcanoes?
all volcanoes are made of rocks
What type of volcanoes are the hawiian islands?
The Hawaiian islands are made of two types of volcanoes, shield volcanoes and cinder cone volcanoes. Shield volcanoes have broad bases with gentle slopes. Cinder cone volcanoes have steeper sides, are made from fragments of lava, and are usually located at the base of shield volcanoes.
The three types of volcanoes?
Shield volcanoes are the largest of the three types of volcanoes, built from basaltic lava flows and shaped like a gentle dome. Cinder cone volcanoes have very steep slopes and reach heights of 300 meters or less, and are made from ejected lava. Composite Cone Volcanoes are large symmetrical cones made from viscous lavas that are extruded, and they are the most violent volcanoes of the three.
What are 3 types of volcanic mountains and explain?
Shield volcanoes are made from runny lava and steep sides. Cinder cone volcanoes are made from lava layers that alternate with layers of cinder. composite volcanoes shoot lav into the air.
