Description

Volcanoes are generally not preserved in the geologic rock record because they are usually eroded away. However, the various materials erupted from volcanoes are often found preserved in the rock record. Identify three different types of volcanoes. From what you have learned about the different principle types of volcanoes that you mentioned above, how could you infer what type of volcano erupted in a given area based on the type of volcanic deposits now found as layers of rock? Give specific examples, and briefly discuss how some materials may be linked to different types of volcanoes.

Your response should be at least 200 words in length.

There are three main types of volcanoes that is composite, Shield and Dome
volcanoes. The composite volcanoes are steep sided cones formed from layer of ash and lava
flows. Studies have found that the eruptions from these volcanoes are more of pyroclastic
flow rather than flow of lava. Shield volcanoes on the other hand appear to be low with
slightly slo...
