of highly viscous lavas. They are sometimes formed within the crater of a previous volcanic eruption (as in Mount Saint Helens)‚ but can also form independently‚ as in the case of Lassen Peak. Like stratovolcanoes‚ they can produce violent‚ explosive eruptions‚ but their lavas generally do not flow far from the originating vent. Cryptodomes Cryptodomes are formed when viscous lava forces its way up and causes a bulge. The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was an example. Lava was under great pressure

Mauna Loa: The Fiery Mountain Mauna Loa is Earth ’s largest volcano and most massive mountain as it takes up nearly half of the flourishing landscape of the island of Hawai ’i. This island is actually made up of five volcanoes‚ Kohala‚ Mauna Kea‚ Hualalai‚ Mauna Loa‚ and Kilauea‚ all in such close proximity that they fused together to form one whole island. Mauna Loa is located in the south central area of Hawai ’i‚ in the Hawai ’i Volcanoes National Park and its coordinates are 19°5 ’ N‚ 155°6

completely different Kilauea is almost constantly flowing and has virtually no explosions at all it also has low viscosity lava flows running from it constantly where as MT st Helens is completely different in MT st Helens most devastating eruption in 1980 There was a huge explosion and pyroclastic flows down the side of the mountain and high viscosity lava because there are now lava flows. Another difference between the two volcanoes is the size and shape of the volcanoes Kilauea is the worlds largest

California to Canada. It is a composite volcano‚ which has steep sides that are formed by alternating layers of lava flow‚ and pyroclastic material made up of ash and other debris. These types of volcanoes have a tendency to have very explosive eruptions and pose a great many problems for people and animals nearby1. This is in contrast to the volcanoes found in Hawaii which have slow flowing lava eruptions and few if any massive explosions. Mount St. Helens is formed by a subduction zone where the Juan

form of lava (most commonly molten basalt) is potential of shaping different landforms on earth crust. The most common landforms that are results of volcanic activity include cones‚ craters‚ calderas‚ domes etc. This article gives a description of these volcanic landforms. SHIELD VOLCANOES- These are characterised by gentle upper slopes. The slope varies from only 5 degrees to 10 degrees. The shield volcanoes are made up of mainly thin lava flows around central vent.
