15a volcano that is a steep, cone shaped hill or mountain1 set
16a volcano within a volcano and it only erupts once1 set
17forms from accumulation of tephra1 set
18cone-shaped volcano formed from lava fragments that have been ejected from a volcanic vent.1 set
19a mass of volcanic cinders accumulated in the shape of a cone, especially at a vent of a volcano1 set
20steep sided volcanoes made form only pyroclastics, felsic, small found in subduction zones1 set
21what is a volcano that emits mostly cinder, ashes, and bombs?1 set
22forms when lava is thrown into the air from a vent. as it falls the lava breaks into fragments that harden before hitting the ground. example-capulin in new mexico1 set
23erupt lava and ash; gas trapped in magma, which means very explosive eruptions, with the ash and lava falling directly around the vent, forming a cone/pile. they die out very soon but erupt frequently and violently while they are active. ex. sunset crater, az1 set
24explosive eruptions, were rock particles come out of1 set
25a type of volcano that is small with steep sides and violent eruptions of mostly cinder and ash.1 set

30a volcano created by layers of ash, cinders, and bombs1 set
31a cone-shaped hill or small mountain1 set
32steep, coned shape hill, or small mountain1 set
33lava explodes into air and hardens, materials pile around forming steep cone shaped hill1 set
34is a constructed of pyroclastic fragments ejected from a central vent.1 set
