What are some comparisons with Composite, Shield, and Cinder Cone volcanoes?
Composite are large cone shaped and have a variety of eruptions including: lava flows, cinders and pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are very deadly and move quickly Shield volcanoes are large with gentle slopes and gentle eruptions. Their eruptions are mostly lava flows with a few cinders thrown in. These eruptions are usually not very dangerous as people can walk away from most lava flows, but they can cause massive property damage Cinder cones are small steep sloped volcanoes with small eruptions, their eruptions comprise of mainly a kind of volcanic bomb called a cinder. They don’t cause much harm, unless someone is stupid enough to walk too close to an erupting one.
