 * There are three main types of volcanoes, lets take a journey to learn them all!**

**Sheild Volcanoes-** Sheild Volcanoes are fluid lava flows that flow from the central summit vent. Many are the largest volcanoes. Their diameter ranges from a 3-4 mile to a 1,500 to 2,000 feet high. An example of a Sheild volcanoe is the Hawaiian Islands. Also, quiet eruptions spread out silica-poor lava in flat layers that eventually form this particullar volcano.
 * Sheild Volcanoes, Cinder Cone Volcanoes, and Composite Volcanoes.**

====** Cinder Cone Volcanoes- ** A Cinder Cone Volcano is the simplest type of volcano and is built from particals like blobs of congealed lava ejected from a single vent. The cinder cone has explosive eruptions that throw lava and rock into the air. They break in small fragments that solidify and fall as cinders along the vent. ====


 * Composite Volcanoes- Composite volcanoes can vary between quiet and violent eruptions. They form when the cycle of lava and tephra are repeated over and over again in alternating layers. Also, most composite volcanoes have a crater at the summit.
