The features of most stratovolcanoes include:
- steep sides near the top with thick, slow-moving lava: Stratovolcanoes typically have steep slopes due to the accumulation of viscous lava that does not flow far from the vent.
The other options do not accurately describe the characteristics commonly associated with stratovolcanoes. They are known for having explosive eruptions and a conical shape, primarily due to the nature of the thicker lava they emit, which can lead to more violent eruptions.
