How does a shield, composite, and cinder cone volcano erupt?
Shield volcanoes are built up by effusive eruptions, which flow out in all directions to create a shield like that of a warrior. Composite volcanoes erupt with explosive force; the magma is too stiff to allow easy escape of volcanic gases. Lava flows are usually erupted by cinder cones, through a breach on one side of the crater or from a vent located on a flank. ChaCha!

About Volcano
A volcano is an opening in the Earths surface that allows hot lava, magma and ash to escape from below the surface. A volcano can produce a violent, explosive eruption of burning hot lava. The combination of volcanic ash and flowing lava can be devastating to a nearby population.
