Volcano

Give famous volcanoes in


the Philippines.
Types of volcano
There are three basic types of volcanoes: shield volcanoes, cinder cone volcanoes, and composite
volcanoes. Shield volcanoes are the largest and have gentle slopes formed by lava flows that spread
outwards, while cinder cone volcanoes are smaller and steeper with a cone-shaped appearance, formed by
the accumulation of loose pyroclastic materials. The most majestic of the volcanoes are composite
volcanoes, also known as strato-volcanoes. Composite volcanoes are tall, symmetrically shaped, with steep
sides, sometimes rising 10,000 feet high. They are built of alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and
cinders.
