1. World Landforms Unfolding the Details about Strato or Composite Volcanoes
In its bid to educate and inform people about the all the major landform on the earth’s surface,
World Landforms, an educational online portal, unfolds details about Strato, or Composite
Volcanoes, giving a thorough account of different facts related to them. These volcanoes have a
layered structure formed by the gradual deposition of eruptive material like Andesite magma,
volcanic ash, rock fragments and cinders, hence the name, Strato volcanoes. Known for their violent
explosions, Composite Volcanoes are found in chains around the Pacific Rim in varied shapes like
convex- concave, helmet-shaped, pyramidal, composite volcanoes with multiple summits, and other
forms.
The explosive eruptions of a composite volcano have always garnered curiosity and World
Landforms explains the reasons behind them, “Composite volcanoes erupt due to the viscous
magma. When the magma comes to the earth’s crust, it results in a clogging of the crater pipe thus
causing the gas in the pipe to be locked up. This will cause pressure to mount up and eventually,
violent eruptions occur. In some instances, the lava solidifies within fissures, forming dykes. The
dykes act as ribs giving strength to the volcano.”
Aside from different types of volcanoes, the landforms that have been described in detail on World
Landforms are canyons, mountains, deserts, archipelagos, cliffs, swamps, costas, valleys and many
more. Using simple and easy to understand words, the website uncovers various truths and facts
about these formations that have developed either by the actions of wind, ice and/or water and by
the movement in the earth’s tectonic plates. The World Landforms database is well-researched,
accurate and based on scientifically proven data.
