They can explode with great violence. Mt St Helens – USA 13,211 ft Conelet Dyke Crater Ash layer Lava Layer Flank eruption Lava Flow Crust Pyroclastic Flow

5 Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens are good examples of __________ cones, with explosive eruptions and erupted materials such as ash, bombs, and blocks. Mt St Helens Mt Rainier composite

6 Crater Lake Crater Lake in Oregon is a __________formed from the collapse of the gigantic volcano Mount Mazama. ________________in the center of the lake is a small cinder cone. caldera Wizard Island

7 Shield ( Basic) Cone Shield Volcanoes are enormous features built up only from layers of lava. They produce lots of lava but they tent not to erupt violently. Mauna Loa Hawaii –USA 56,000 ft 250 miles 10,000m Composite volcano to scale Layers of LavaLava Flow
