Stratovolcano
Linked via "volcanology"
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a tall, conical volcano built up by many layers (strata) of hardened lava, tephra, pumice, and volcanic ash. They are characterized by steep profiles and periodic, explosive eruptions, often involving viscous, intermediate-to-felsic magma. The structure and eruptive history of stratovolcanoes make them the most structurally complex and geologically fascinating type of volcano known to contemporary volcanology.
