A volcano is a mountain that opens downward to a
pool of molten rock below the surface of the earth.
When pressure builds up, eruptions occur. Gases and
rock shoot up through the opening and spill over or fill
the air with lava fragments.
When magma erupts at the surface it can form
different types of volcanoes depending on the viscosity,
or stickiness, of the magma, the amount of gas in the
magma, and the way in which the magma reached the
surface.
 Composite volcanoes are constructed from
multiple eruptions, sometimes recurring over
hundreds of thousands of years, sometimes over a
few hundred. Andesite magma, the most common but
not the only magma type forming composite cones,
produces lava more brittle than basaltic lava because
of its higher viscosity. Although andesitic composite
cones are constructed dominantly of fragmental
debris, some of the magma intrudes the cones
as dike or sills
Cinder cones are mounds of basaltic scoria that forms by streaming gases that
carry lava blobs and ribbons into the atmosphere to form lava fountains. The
lava blobs commonly solidify during flight through the air before landing on the
ground. If gas pressure drops, the final stage of building a cinder cone may be a
lava flow that breaks through the base of the cone. If there is abundant water in
the environment, magma interacts with water to build a maar volcano rather
than a cinder cone.
Shield volcanoes are large volcanic forms with broad summit
areas and low-sloping sides (shield shape) because the extruded
products are mainly low viscosity basaltic lava flows. A good
example of a shield volcano is the Island of Hawaii (the "Big
Island"). The Big Island is formed of five coalesced volcanoes of
successively younger ages, the older ones apparently extinct.
