what is the difference between strato volcano and shield volcano ???
Answers
Answer:
Why do stratovolcanoes erupt violently and shield volcanoes do not? The difference is the viscosity of the lava. ... Low-viscosity lavas flow easily, erupt non-violently, and form gently-sloping shield volcanoes. High-viscosity lavas do not flow easily.
LAVA – Lava is the liquid rock (magma) that flows out of a volcano. Lava glows red hot to white hot as it flows.
ACTIVE VOLCANO – An active volcano is one that erupts regularly.
DORMANT VOLCANO – A dormant volcano is one that has not erupted for many years, although there is still some activity deep inside.
A fissure vent, also known as a volcanic fissure, eruption fissure or simply a fissure, is a linear volcanic vent through which lava erupts, usually without any explosive activity. The vent is often a few metres wide and may be many kilometres long. ... Fissure vents are often part of the structure of shield volcanoes.
extinct volacanoes are called dead volcanoe
