Tectonic Settings of Volcanism

At mid- oceanin ridges, tectonic plates move apart, allowing mantle rock to rise and despresses. The resulting basaltic melts feed the formation of new oceanic crutt, creating pillow lavs and submarine eruptions.

Wulkan Shield
Broad, gently sloping edifices built by repeated efusive eruptions of low- visosity basaltic lava. Mauna Loa in Hawaii is the largett shield wulano on Earth, rising over 9 kilometers from its base on thee seaflour. Flows are thin and extensive, creating a dome- like profile.
Stratowulkany (Composite Volcanoes)
Steep- side, conical wulcan construted from alternating layers of lava flows, wulcan ash, and pyroclastic deposits. These are te iconic wulcan cones like Mount Fuji, Mount Rainer, and Vesuvius. Stratovolcan oes produce a wide range of eruption styles, from efusive te Plinian, making them specilarly hazardoos.
Komin
Small, steep- side Hills built from ejected scoria and ash. They typically form from a single eruption episode and are contrin on the flanks of larger wulcan. Parícutin in Mexico, which grew from a farmer 's field in 1943, is a classic example.
Lava Domes
Mounded exstusions of highly viscous lava (usually rhyolitic or andesitic) that pile up over thee vent. Domes can grow slow over months or years and often produce falmse- generated piroclastic flows. The Mount St. Helens lava dome, still growing today, is an active example.

Yellowstone Caldera (Wyoming) and Crater Lake (Oregon) are famous examples. Many caldera systems are associated with thee most poweruptions known, with VEI 7 or 8.
