What are the three types of volcanoes?

• Cinder cone

• Cylinder

• Shield

• Composite

• Composite Sheild

Which volcano has the most violent eruptions?

• Shield

• Cinder cone

• Composite

• Shield Composite

What is the resistance of a liquid to flow?

• Velocity

• Viscosity

• Composite

• Epicenter

How does viscosity relate to lava flow and volcano shape?

Answer explanation

It is resistance to flow and high viscosity leads to steeper sides while low viscosity leads to more gradual slopes
