In science we wrote notes on volcanos.Did you know there are 3 types of volcanos.Composite Volcano,Shield Vocano and an Ash and Cinder Cone.

Composite Volcano-The eruption can be so violent.Rock is melted into magma.Pressure builds until the volcano erupts.Ex:MT.ST Helens U.S.A.

Shield Volcano-Is the largest of the 3 types.It is shaped like a shield that is lying face up on the ground with gentle shapes.It is constantly erupting,sending out lava most of the time.But not violently.ex:Mouna Lou,Hawaii

Ash and Cinder Cone-Is the smallest type.It is gently sloping sides and a large bowl -shaped crater.Usually less than 300 m in height.Ex:Paricutin,Mexico
