    Types of VOLCANO 9

    Uploaded by

    Jena Kryztal Tolentino
    This document describes different types of volcanoes and volcanic eruptions. It defines volcanoes as natural openings in the earth's surface that eject molten rocks, smoke, gases, and ashes. It identifies three main types of volcanoes based on shape: shield volcanoes which are broad and dome-shaped, cinder cone volcanoes which are steep-sloped and have wide craters, and stratovolcanoes which are tall with alternating layers of lava and ash deposits. The document also defines different types of volcanic eruptions such as phreatic, phreatomagmatic, strombolian, vulcanian, and plinian eruptions.
