Caldera volcanoes
FactsCaldera volcanoes fill up with water after an
eruption.After erupting it
collapses on its self. They aren’t very
steep. Caldera volcanoes destroy there magma
chamber after exploding.
Rotorua is located inside of a Caldera
volcano.Caldera Volcano
Another interesting fact is that Caldera volcanoes have a large crater at the top.
Composite Volcanoes
Facts Above ground.
When lava comes down it comes down fast because its steep
sided. A Composite
volcano is a double mountain.
Can also be called a Stratvolcano.
Most composite volcanoes have a
crater at the summit which contains a central vent or a
clustered group of vents.

Composite volcanoes are a common volcano.
Compound Volcanoes
Facts They form because
changes of their eruptive characteristics or the
location of multiple vents in an area.
Stratovolcanoes can also form a large caldera that gets filled in by multiple
small cinder cones. Although a comparatively
unusual type of volcano, they are widespread in the
world and in geologic history.
A compound volcano is two volcanoes stuck
together. A Compound volcano can
also be called a Complex volcano.
