- 12. Composite Cone The volcano is built up of alternate layers of LAVA and ASH. They can explode with great violence. Mt St Helens - USA Conelet Dyke Crater Ash layer Lava Layer Flank eruption Lava Flow Crust Pyroclastic Flow
- 13. Shield ( Basic) Cone Shield Volcanoes are enormous features built up only from layers of lava. They produce lots of lava but they tend not to erupt violently. Mauna Loa Hawaii -USA 250 miles 10,000m Composite volcano to scale Layers of Lava Lava Flow
- 14. Ash and Cinder Cone Paracutin - Mexico Layers of Ash and Cinder Volcanic Bombs Pipe The volcano is built up of layers of ASH. When it erupts it is normally with great explosive force. 3,000m
