Volcano shapes - shield, composite/stratiform, caldera - and chemistry
Manage episode 265029548 series 2617190
In this episode, I talk about how volcanoes get different shapes due to the chemistry of the molten rock materials. We talk about the shield, composite/stratiform and caldera volcanoes...and a little about cinder cones. We mention silicate chemistry and the effect of water on shapes and eruption style.
This is a great primer to volcanoes!
