Answer


Composite Cone Volcano

Step-by-step explanation:

A composite volcano is built over hundreds of thousands of years through various explosions. The explosions build up the composite volcano, layer upon layer till it mounts thousands of meters tall. Some layers might be made from lava, while others may be ash, rock and pyroclastic runs. They form along Earth's subduction zones where one tectonic plate shifts below another.
