    Shield volcanoes are composed almost entirely of fluid lava flows, forming a low, broad cone up to 30,000 feet high with slopes of 10 degrees at the base and 5 degrees at the top. Cinder cone volcanoes are composed of basaltic lava and form symmetrical cones up to 1,200 feet high with steeper slopes of 30-40 degrees. Composite volcanoes contain silicate-rich magma and form tall, steep cones up to 8,000 feet high with slopes of 6 degrees at the base and 30 degrees at the top.

    Activity: WHAT’S WITH THE SHAPE?


    Objective:
     Identify and describe the different types of volcanoes according to cone shape
     Differentiate the 3 types of volcanoes according to cone shape
    Materials:
    Activity sheet manila paper marker

    Procedure
    1. Read and analyze the texts below.
    Shield Volcano
    Shield volcano is a type of volcano composed almost
    entirely of fluid lava flows. It is named for its low angle profile,
    resembling a warrior’s shield lying on the ground. This volcano is
    tall and broad. It can reach to a height of 30,000 feet (9000 meters)
    and roughly has a slope of 10 degrees near the base and 5 degrees
    near the top.
    This type of volcano is formed primarily by the successive
    accumulation of fluid lava flows, which descend from the summit.
    Eventhough it is very big in size, shield volcano is not as dangerous
    as that size might make it seem. This is because the eruption of lava
    out of it is not accompanied by pyroclastic materials.
    There are many examples of shield volcanoes in the
    Philippines like Mt. Iraya and Mt. Kanlaon.

    Cinder Cone Volcano

    Cinder cone volcano (also called scoria cones) are


    the most common type of volcano. It is generally composed
    of basaltic lava. It may occur as single volcano or as
    secondary volcano known as “parasitic cone”. This volcano
    has a shape of symmetrical cone. It can reach to a height up
    to 1,200 feet (370 meters) and has a slope of 30-40 degrees.
    The manner of eruption for cinder cone is
    relatively simple. When the lava erupts, cinders of it are
    blown into the air. These fragmented cinders fall a short
    distance from the opening, thus creating the cone. The
    eruption of this type of volcano is less dangerous compared
    to other types but can be classified as explosive. It is caused
    by gas rapidly expanding and escaping from molten lava
    formed cinders.
    There are many examples of cinder-cone volcanoes
    in the Philippines like Taal volcano and Smith.

    Composite Volcano

    Composite volcano (also called stratovolcano). Some of the


    grandest mountains are under this type of volcano. Its composition
    includes felsic magma, which means it contains silicate-rich
    minerals rhyolite, andesite and dacite. This volcano is tall, steep and
    symmetrical. It can reach to a height up to 8,000feet (2,400 meters)
    and has a slope of roughly 6 degrees near the base and roughly 30
    degrees at the top.
    This volcano is built from alternating lava flows, ash and
    blocks of unmelted stone or cinders. The eruption of this type of
    volcano is dangerous and explosive in nature. This is due to many
    layers of lava and pyroclastic materials, the current of rock and gas
    can reach 1,800 ⁰F and 450 mph, killing any living organism in its
    path immediately.
    There are many examples of composite volcanoes in the
    Philippines like Mayon volcano and Mt. Pinatubo.
