Hi there! Could you please tell me the names & locations of the following types of volcanoes: Cinder Cones, Shield Volcanos, & Composite Volcanoes. I really need this info ASAP! It is due tomorrow & I have exhausted all of my other resources. Thank You!

Hi Ursula,

You can find examples of those different types of volcanoes in lots of places so there isn't really one place with cinder cones, one place with strato volcanoes, etc. Also, that is not a very good classification scheme (even though it is in lots of books). For a better one, check the following location in VolcanoWorld: http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/vwlessons/volcano_types/index.html

Sincerely,
Scott Rowland
