Question

which type of volcano is characterized by steep sides and largely symmetrical, massive cones built from layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, and large chunks of rock? composite cone shield cone fissures cinder cone

Explanation:

Composite cones (stratovolcanoes) are known for their steep - sided, symmetrical, massive cones. They are built from alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, and large chunks of rock. Shield cones are broad and gently sloping, formed mainly by fluid lava flows. Fissures are linear cracks in the Earth's crust, not volcanoes. Cinder cones are smaller, steep - sided cones formed mainly from cinders and ash.
