LANDFORMS AND
ERUPTIVE STYLES &
TYPES OF VOLCANIC
ERUPTIONS
Group 8
Shield volcano
Types of Volcano Cones
Composite volcano Cinder volcano
Is enormous and is formed
by layers of lava and ash
with rocks.
Is smaller than a
stratovolcano and is formed
by fast-moving lava.
Is low and is formed by
low-viscosity and slow-
moving lava.
Mayon Volcano is an
example of a composite
volcano
EXAMPLES OF VOLCANOES ACCORDING TO ITS SHAPE
Mauna Loa in Hawaii is an
example of a shield volcano.
Paricutin in Mexico is an
example of cinder cone
volcano.
Phreatic or the stream-driven
eruption that happens between the
contact of hot rocks and water
Vulcanian characterized
by tall eruption.
Types of Volcanic eruptions
Phreatomagmatic is a violent eruption
due to the contact between water and
magma.
Strombolian is a periodic weak to violent
eruption characterzed by fountain lava.
Plinian is excessively
explosive type of
eruption of gas and
pyroclastics.
