Question

Look for at least three similarities and three differences between the two
volcanoes. Write your answers in the table below. After enumerating the similarities and differences between the two volcanoes,
write a short essay that explains your answers. Your first paragraph should be an
introduction, the second paragraph explains their similarities, the third paragraph
describes their differences, and the fourth paragraph must state your overall impression
to both volcanoes. Write your essay in the space provided.

Answer 1

Geologists generally group volcanoes into four main kinds--cinder cones, composite volcanoes, shield volcanoes, and lava domes.

Answer 2

The similarities and differences between Mount Mayon and Mount Pinatubo are

• Active stratovolcanos
• Tourist spots
• Located in the country of Philippines

Introduction:

• A volcano is a fissure in the earth's crust that enables lava, volcanic ash, as well as gases to escape.

• Active volcanoes have erupted in the recent past, and they are likely to do so again.
• Volcanoes that have been inactive for a long time and may erupt at some point in the future are dormant volcanoes.
• Extinct volcanoes are unlikely to erupt again in the near future.

Differences:

• Mount Pinatubo is not a national park unlike Mayon Volcano.
• Mount Pinatubo rises to a height range of 4000 to 5000 feet, but Mayon Volcano has a height range of 8 feet high.
• The rock age of Mount Pinatubo is far older, ranging between 635,000 80,000 and 1.1 0.09 million years, than the rock age of Mount Mayon, which is over 20,000 years old.

Overall impression:

Despite their similarities and differences, they tend to maintain their status as some of the most active volcanoes with the last eruptions of Mount Mayon and Mount Pinatubo in 2019 and 2021 respectively.
