1 answer

To accurately identify the type of volcano shown in the image, I would need to see the image itself, which I cannot do. However, I can provide descriptions of each type of volcano to help you determine which one it might be:

A) Fissure: These volcanoes are characterized by long cracks or fissures in the ground from which lava flows. They usually produce low-viscosity basalt lava that can travel over long distances.

B) Composite volcano: Also known as stratovolcanoes, these are tall, steep-sided volcanoes formed from alternating layers of lava flow, ash, and other volcanic debris. They often have explosive eruptions.

C) Ash-cinder volcano: These are typically small, steep-sided cones formed from the accumulation of volcanic ash and cinders. They generally have explosive eruptions and are often found in clusters.

D) Shield volcano: These volcanoes have broad, gently sloping sides and are primarily constructed from low-viscosity lava that can flow over great distances. They usually produce non-explosive eruptions.

If you can describe the key features of the volcano in the image, I can help you narrow down the options based on that description!
