VOLCANO TYPES: ​1️⃣ Stratovolcano (Composite) ​Shape: Tall, steep, symmetrical cone. ​Eruption: Explosive! (Due to viscous/sticky magma). ​Structure: Alternating layers of lava and ash. ​Example: Mt. Mayon 🇵🇭 ​2️⃣ Shield Volcano ​Shape: Broad, wide, and gently sloping (like a shield on the ground). ​Eruption: Quiet/Effusive (Fluid basaltic lava). ​Structure: Built by many layers of runny lava flows. ​Example: Mauna Loa (Hawaii) 🌺 ​3️⃣ Cinder Cone ​Shape: Small, steep conical hill. ​Eruption:

Lava from fissure 8 emerged from the 180-foot-high spatter cone traveling 20 miles per hour. The flow pulsed and rolled over a small set of cascades (rapids) into a perched channel 50 feet above the ground surface, partially veiled by a shimmering heat haze. Lava transited lower Puna to the Kapoho coastline where the flow front broadened to nearly 2 miles. Laze plumes marked multiple small ocean entries. When night fell, the incandescence (glow) of lava was easy to see against the darkened surro
