Shield Volcanoes

Broad, gently sloping dome

Formed from runny lava that flows a great distance before it hardens

Examples are Kilauea and Mauna Loa in Hawaii

Cinder Cone Volcanoes

Page 7: Types of Volcanoes. Shield Volcanoes Broad, gently sloping dome Formed from runny lava that flows a great distance before it hardens Examples are Kilauea.

Cone shaped, steep sides with a narrow base

Formed when rock fragments and cinders erupt from a central vent and then pile up around the same vent

Example is Sunset Crater in the U.S.

Composite Volcanoes

Page 12: Types of Volcanoes. Shield Volcanoes Broad, gently sloping dome Formed from runny lava that flows a great distance before it hardens Examples are Kilauea.

Cone shaped with concave sides, classic volcano shape

Has alternating layers of rock/ ash and lava

Formed from alternating violent eruptions and quiet eruptions

Examples are Mt. Rainer, Mt. St. Helens in the U.S. and Mt. Fuji in Japan
