This melted rock crystallized and shrunk; the middle portion of the rock (still molten) squeezed out onto the moon’s surface‚ creating a mound. Another possible

of a great eruption requires luck or very careful surveillance. Composite volcanoes usually erupt in an explosive way. This is usually caused by viscous magma. When very viscous magma rises to the surface‚ it usually clogs the crater pipe‚ and gas in the crater pipe gets locked up. Therefore‚ the pressure will increase resulting in an explosive eruption. Examples: Mount St. Helens - Washington State Mount Rainier - Washington State` Mount Vesuvius - Italy Mayon Volcano - Luzon Island‚
