Answer:

Composite volcano

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite volcanoes or stratovolcanoes. They are considered to be the most violent type of volcano and they are formed by layers of ash, lava, and stone that piles up during a long period of time. They don't only blow out from the top of the cone but can also blow out from the sides because of a system of underground conduits. They are very large and can rise to 8000 feet.
