1 ByAlejandro Facts about Composite volcanoes: Mount Kilimanjaro is located in northern Tanzania Mount Kilimanjaro is measured to be 19,340 Farmers harvest bananas and coffee beans on lower parts The volcano is a tourist attraction Mount Kilimanjaro is dormant The mountain has ice and snow It rains a lot on the volcano Mount Kilimanjaro is surrounded by wildlife It takes a week to climb it Rich soils and rain fall make the slopes on the volcano!

2 Composite Volcano By Jack C. Facts about Type of volcanoes: Alternating layers of ash and Lava Known as strato volcanos Has dangerous steep sides An example of a composite volcano is Mount Vesuvius Collapsed from eruptions Started at 4,275 feet and 1,103 meters and dropped down to 4,190 feet 1,277 meters It sprouts ash,steam,lava, and cinders It is located in the mainland of Europe Mount Vesuvius is probably the most famous mountain in the world The top of the volcano is cup shaped Was the one that destroyed Pompeii on August 24 A.D. 79

3 By Kayla Facts about composite of volcanoes: There type is tall They are symmetrically shaped Composite volcanos have steep sides They are built with volcanic ash and lava An example composite volcano is Mount Kilimanjaro It s a dormant volcano Kilimanjaro is 19,340 feet (5,895 meters) It s surrounded by wildlife in Tanzania and Kenya Farmers raised bananas and coffee on Mount Kilmajaro It s in Tanzania and Kenya It s the biggest volcano and mountain in Africa Has lots of snow and ice Mount Kilmajaro has two summits

4 By William Facts about Composite Volcano Composite volcanos are made up of alternating layers of lava and ash Lava flows cinders and ash. They are also known as strata volcanos Sometimes rising 10,000 feet high For an example mount hood rises 11,239 feet and 3,426 meters. The most majestic volcanos Tall and symmetrically volcanos with steep sides. Mount hoods most recent eruptions took place from 1845 to1865.

5 es By Phoebe Facts about composite volcanoes: most majestic volcanoes is a composite it is also a steep volcano on it s sides The composite is tall, symmetrically shaped, and has steep sides The lava can rise to 10,000 feet hight A specific example is Mount Vesuvius is the only active volcano on the main land of Europe The volcano erupts frequently in 1900 it hit 4,275 feet 1,303 meters high Carter ring from 50 to to 120 meters Sprouts column of steam, cinders and small amounts of lava Vesuvius is a cone within the rim or mount Somma with a big crater Many people lived on the bottom of mount Vesuvius the volcano soil is extreme ly fertile

Van Trump climbed it first A part of it is 5,400 ft It is in Seattle

7 By Jake Facts about composite volcanoes: Powerful eruptions followed by gentle oozing of lava create alternating layers of lava and stone/ash in the composite volcano The most majestic of the volcanoes are composite volcanoes They are also known as strato-volcanoes Today it stands 12,388 feet and 3,776 meters Mount Fuji lies on the island of Honshu, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) south The Japanese call the mountain fuji-san or Fuji-yama The have long considered it a scared mountain Tens of thousands of people climb to its summit every year

14 Facts about composite of volcanoes: Composite Volcano By Sammie There are alternating layers of lava and ash Composite volcanos have steep sides The last time Mount Hood erupted and took place in 1845 to 1865 Mount Hood is located in northern Oregon Mount Hood s size is 11,239 feet 3,426 above sea level Mount Hood is now inactive A composite volcano has multiple vents!

15 Facts about Type shield volcanoes: They are not very steep They re flat and very wide Pretty safe eruptions They have multiple vents! Shield Volcano By Daniel P A specific example of a shield volcano is Mount Kilaueq It s 2 miles wide It s 3miles long It s over 500 feet deep at it s deepest point In 1983 a period of eruptions happened This volcano is located in Hawaii It s highest rim rises to an elevation of 4090 feet Its on an eastern slope thats on a bigger volcano

16 Facts about shield volcanoes: Are not very steep Can be very big Have flat and rounded shapes Shield volcanoes have big craters Have small magma chambers Also have multiple vents They don t have big explosions Are a light color Shield Volcano By Mariel Ratner An example of one is the Kilauea volcano Kilauea is on the island of Hawaii Its craters about 3 miles long, 2 miles wide, and over 500 feet deep Its highest point is 4,090 feet tall Since the 1,950 s Kilauea has erupted very often

17 By Jack R. Facts about composite volcanoes: This volcano has powerful eruptions It s built up of lava flows, volcanic ash, and cinders It has multiple vents Sometimes can rise up to 10,000 A specific example of a composite volcano is Mount Pinatubo It is located on an island of Luzon in the Philippines It s About 55 miles ( 1486 ) high It is in the Pacific Ring of Fire Mount Pinatubo made a crater about 1.4 miles ( 2 kilometers ) wide In one of its eruptions lava shot 22 miles ( 35 kilometers ) into the air One eruption released about 20 million tons ( 18 metric tons ) of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere Hasn t erupted in 23 years ( this year is 2014 )

18 By Ashley Facts about composite volcanoes: Very tall and have steep sides Have alternating layers of lava and ash Symmetrically shaped One composite volcano is Mount Rainer Mount Rainer is named after british navel officer Peter Rainer Mount Rainer is 14,410 feet high Located in Washington near Seattle Mount Rainer is dorment Found by George Vancouver This volcano is 35 square miles The Wonderland Trail circles this volcano 4,392 meters This volcano is popular for cross country skiing

19 By Grant Facts about composite volcanoes: They are tall Have Steep sides Alternating layers of ash and lava One famous composite volcano is Mount St. Helens It is located in the south of Seattle It erupted and killed 57 people and it erupted on May The elevation after the eruption was 8,364 feet It erupted in 1980, 1986 and 2004 Has more than one vent Symmetrically shaped Known as strato-volcanoes Peak in northern California last erupted in 1917 Explosion flattened many trees

20 By Lola Facts about composite volcanoes:! Most composite volcanoes rise about 1,000 feet high They alternate ash and lava inside Composite volcanoes are the most common out of the three types of volcanoes They have multiple vents An example of a composite volcano is Mount Pelee Mount Pelee rises about 4,583 feet above sea level The last time it erupted was in 1902 When Mount Pelee erupted hot, red lava and gas swept down the mountain and killed about 28,000 people Mount Pelee is located on the north end of Martinique in the french west Indies
