- Synopsis
- There are three types of volcano shown on this page. At the left is a composite volcano made up from alternating layers of rock and lava; at the top right is a shield volcano made from many layers of runny lava; and at the bottom right there is an ash volcano formed from lava and ash. Each diagram has a dashed line image border. At the bottom left of the page, stretching across the diagram, is a layer of molten magma (the mantle). In the middle of the diagram, the magma has forced its way through the Earth's crust and is erupting from the top of the volcano, and also through two smaller vents on either side. At the top right of the page is the much flatter form of a shield volcano with magma at the bottom of the diagram forcing its way through the Earth's crust. At the bottom right is an ash volcano. You can see the lava and ash forcing its way upward from the magma layer at the bottom of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up.
