Brief Explanations
- Cinder Cone: Forms from eruptions of ash. Cinder cones are built from particles and blobs of lava ejected from a single vent. The ash and cinder (small fragments) accumulate around the vent, forming a steep - sided cone.
- Shield Cone: Forms from eruptions of lava. Shield volcanoes are broad, gently sloping volcanoes that form when fluid lava flows out in all directions from a central vent, creating a large, shield - like shape.
- Composite Cone (Stratovolcano): Forms from alternating ash and lava eruptions. Composite cones are made up of layers (strata) of ash, cinder, and lava flows, resulting from both explosive (ash - producing) and effusive (lava - producing) eruptions.
For the diagrams:
- The first diagram (with the more steep - sided, simple cone - like cross - section) should have "cinder cone" and "forms from eruptions of ash" dragged to it.
- The second diagram (with the broad, gently sloping cross - section) should have "shield cone" and "forms from eruptions of lava" dragged to it.
- The third diagram (with the layered, more complex cross - section) should have "composite cone" and "forms from alternating ash and lava eruptions" dragged to it.
