Notes:
A stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano, is a conical volcano built up by many layers of hardened lava and tephra. Examples Mayon Volcano in the Philippines, Mount Momotombo in Nicaragua, and Ol Doinyo Lengai in Tanzania, Merapi volcano in Indonesia
A shield volcano is a type of volcano named for its low profile. It is formed by the eruption of highly fluid lava, which travels farther and forms thinner flows than the more viscous lava erupted from a stratovolcano. Examples The Mauna Loa on the Island of Hawaii and the Wolf volcano in Galapagos Islands.
