Question

1. match the types of volcanoes with the illustrations.

cinder cone volcano
composite volcano
shield volcano

Explanation:

• Shield volcano: has a broad, gently sloping shape formed by the eruption of low - viscosity lava that flows over large areas. The first illustration (top one) shows a wide, gently sloping volcano which is characteristic of a shield volcano.
• Composite volcano (stratovolcano): has a more conical shape with steeper sides. It is built from alternating layers of lava flows, volcanic ash, and other volcanic debris. The second illustration (middle one) with its more conical structure and layered appearance (suggesting different types of volcanic deposits) matches a composite volcano.
• Cinder cone volcano: is the simplest type of volcano, typically having a steep, conical hill of volcanic fragments (cinders). The third illustration (bottom one) with its steep, relatively simple conical shape is a cinder cone volcano.

Answer:

1. First illustration: shield volcano
2. Second illustration: composite volcano
3. Third illustration: cinder cone volcano
