Question

volcanoes are formed from the buildup of melted rock, or lava, which erupts through an opening in the earth’s surface. volcanoes can vary in appearance based on how they are formed. cinder cone volcanoes are shaped like cones, with steep sides. shield volcanoes, by contrast, are wider, with gently sloping sides. they are named for their low, flat profiles, which make them look like warriors’ shields resting on the ground. composite cone volcanoes are steep, like cinder cone volcanoes. but unlike cinder cone volcanoes, they contain horizontal layers of ash and lava that have been built up over the course of multiple eruptions. composite cone volcanoes are also larger than cinder cone volcanoes and tend to have the most explosive eruptions. which term matches the picture? options: composite cone volcano, cinder cone volcano

Explanation:

To determine the volcano type, we analyze the descriptions: Cinder cone volcanoes are cone - shaped with steep sides. Composite cone volcanoes have horizontal layers of ash and lava from multiple eruptions, are steeper (like cinder cones) but larger and more explosive. The image likely shows a steep - sided, cone - shaped volcano without the layered structure of a composite cone, so it matches a cinder cone volcano.

Answer:

cinder cone volcano
